Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Factory New and Minimal Wear for the ★ Shadow Daggers | Blue Steel?
Factory New (FN) skins have float values between 0.00-0.07, showing minimal to no visible wear. Minimal Wear (MW) floats range from 0.07-0.15, with slight scratches or fading visible on close inspection. For the ★ Shadow Daggers | Blue Steel, the price difference between FN and MW can range from 10% to over 100% depending on how visible the wear is on this particular finish. Some finishes hide wear better than others, making MW versions excellent value alternatives.
Is the ★ Shadow Daggers | Blue Steel a good budget option?
Yes, the ★ Shadow Daggers | Blue Steel is an excellent budget-friendly choice. Priced affordably, it offers the Blue Steel aesthetic without breaking the bank. Budget skins like this are ideal for players building their first inventory or those who prefer spending on multiple skins rather than one expensive item. The lower price point also means less financial risk if you decide to trade or sell later.
What is the float value range for the ★ Shadow Daggers | Blue Steel?
Float values in CS2 determine a skin's wear level on a scale from 0.00 (perfect) to 1.00 (maximum wear). This skin can drop in all five wear conditions, from pristine Factory New to heavily worn Battle-Scarred. Lower float values within any condition category (e.g., 0.01 vs 0.06 in Factory New) result in cleaner appearances and typically command higher prices. For high-value trades, always verify the exact float value using inspection tools.
Where is the cheapest place to buy the ★ Shadow Daggers | Blue Steel?
Prices vary across marketplaces due to fees, regional pricing, and seller competition. The Steam Community Market is convenient but charges 15% fees. Third-party markets like Skinport, DMarket, and Buff163 often offer lower prices with fees ranging from 5-10%. For the ★ Shadow Daggers | Blue Steel, we recommend comparing prices on this page's market comparison table above, which shows real-time listings from multiple verified marketplaces.

Is the ★ Shadow Daggers | Blue Steel a good investment?
Investment potential depends on several factors. Knives and gloves historically hold value well due to consistent demand and limited supply. Key considerations: (1) Check the 30-day and 90-day price trends shown in the charts above; (2) Consider whether this skin is from an active or discontinued case; (3) Evaluate overall CS2 market conditions. Past performance doesn't guarantee future returns, but ★ Shadow Daggers | Blue Steel has maintained steady trading interest. Diversifying across multiple items typically reduces risk.

Yes, all weapon skins including the ★ Shadow Daggers | Blue Steel are purely cosmetic and can be used in all CS2 game modes including competitive matchmaking, Premier, and professional tournaments.
