★ Shadow Daggers | Lore is a regal, fantasy-inspired knife skin introduced on September 21, 2021 with the "Operation Riptide" update, appearing as a rare special item from the Dreams & Nightmares Case. These Shadow Daggers have been painted in a “Custom Paint Job” style, with the Lore finish, coating both blades in rich gold tones and intricate medieval knotwork that looks like ornate engravings pulled from an ancient manuscript. The compact twin-dagger silhouette and finger-ring grips give the set an aggressive, assassin-like feel, while the detailed filigree keeps it elegant and high-end. In Factory New condition, the finish looks pristine: no visible scuffs on the edges, no scratches across the gold panels, and no dulling, so the engraving stays crisp, the sheen remains vivid, and the pair looks truly collectible.
