Paracord Knife | Rust Coat was added to the game on March 31, 2025, in the Spring Forward update and became one of the rare special items in the Fever Case. The skin was created by Valve. The Paracord Knife appeared in the game in 2019 as part of Operation Shattered Web and first received Chroma finishes in the Fever Case.
The blade is covered with an uneven layer of rust. The handle is wrapped in gray paracord.
The skin's Float Value ranges from 0.40 to 1.00, which makes Paracord Knife | Rust Coat available only in Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred conditions. At low Float Values, the rust is less pronounced and covers a smaller area of the blade surface. As the Float Value grows, the area covered by rust increases. At values close to the maximum, the blade becomes almost completely covered with rust and takes on a pronounced orange-brown shade.
The pattern index affects the placement of the rust texture on the blade surface. There are no special or rare pattern variations.
The quality of Paracord Knife | Rust Coat is Covert. The skin is available in a StatTrak version. The skin is part of the Rust Coat series. Examples with a Float Value close to 1.00 may be of interest to some collectors due to their highly pronounced rust coating.
