The Blue Steel skin has an average Bowie Knife price, but it can’t be called expensive. On this skin, not a gram of paint has been applied to the knife’s surface. Here, all the metal parts of the knife have been tempered to a cold shade of blue. The skin is also distinguished by the engraving of the logo in the form of a buffalo head. The rest of the skin is untouched.
Regarding wear and tear, on this version, there is no paint and there can be no scratches or scuffs. The only difference between the Battle-Scarred exterior and newer models is the darkening of the metal parts.
The minimum price is $78.
Stained
On this skin, the developers created a patina with a slight orange tint. The other part has no distinctive differences. The appearance of this skin is peculiar and is more suited to amateurs, so its price is not too high.
