Gut Knife | Lore

Origin Story

The Gut Knife | Lore features a custom-painted knotwork design, characterized by warm gold and yellow ornamentation set against a darker base. This visual theme, introduced on June 16, 2016, with the Gamma Exposure update, emphasizes decorative knotwork as its primary element. As a high-end knife skin, its supply is typically constrained by case openings and float distribution. The Lore finish generally positions this item in the prestige and collector category.

Drop Chance

Gut Knife | Lore is a knife-tier skin, so standard Valve rarity odds don't apply. Knives drop at a combined rate of approximately 0.26% from supported cases before accounting for which knife type and finish you get. Valve doesn't publish individual knife or phase probabilities.

Skin Condition

Float range 0 to 0.65. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Factory New ($205.00): The custom-painted knotwork design appears pristine, with warm gold and yellow ornamentation fully intact on the blade.
• Minimal Wear ($148.42): Minor wear may begin to appear on the edges of the blade, though the decorative knotwork remains largely unblemished.
• Field-Tested ($118.15): Visible scuffs and wear become more apparent on the blade's surface, affecting the painted knotwork in places.
• Well-Worn ($123.76): Significant wear and paint loss are evident, creating a more aged look for the gold and yellow ornamentation.
• Battle-Scarred ($118.46): The custom paint job shows heavy degradation, with large areas of the knotwork design worn away, giving the knife a heavily used appearance.
