About ★ Skeleton Knife | Ultraviolet
The ★ Skeleton Knife | Ultraviolet in Battle-Scarred is the affordable doorway into one of CS2's most distinctive knife silhouettes. Released with the CS20 Case in October 2019, the Skeleton Knife is a stripped-tang fixed-blade design — no scales, no embellishment, just the cut metal of a custom blacksmith's tang. Ultraviolet pairs it with a matte purple paint job that reads as anodized aluminum.
Why Ultraviolet specifically
Ultraviolet is the finish family that turns a knife into pure form study. There is no pattern variance, no rare seed, no Fire & Ice tier — every Ultraviolet looks essentially identical, and the price is determined entirely by float and stock-keeping. For Skeleton specifically, the matte purple complements the bare-tang silhouette better than any of the louder finishes in the line.
BS as a value tier
At Battle-Scarred the matte purple shows authentic chipping along the spine and around the bolts. Because Ultraviolet has no pattern detail to lose, the wear reads as genuine use rather than visual degradation — a feature, not a bug, for collectors who want a working knife look without paying the FN premium.
