Scarlet Shamagh is one of the louder faces on the Sport Gloves line: the name says red, the silhouette stays athletic, and the whole piece reads like it belongs on a loadout that is not trying to hide. If you are building around crimson rifles and knives, or you already wear Sport Gloves but want a hotter color story, put this skin on your shortlist—then nail down wear tier and case origin before you commit cash on the market.

Release date

The gloves shipped with the 2020-12-03 Operation Broken Fang update. Major skin wikis (C5GAME.GGG, Skin.Land, skin.club) agree on that date; they were part of the official Broken Fang glove batch, not a stray patch add-on months later.

Designer

Valve in-house. Like the other Broken Fang gloves, there is no Workshop author credit—expect first-party glove quality and naming, not a community submission.

Case source

Drops and unbox pulls trace to the Broken Fang Weapon Case. If you are budgeting around case history or double-checking “is this the Broken Fang glove wave?”, that case is the anchor. Whether you can still obtain the case through normal play depends on your current game version and drop rules.

Skin highlights

• Item / category: Sport Gloves (gloves)
• Finish name: Scarlet Shamagh (internal ID sporty_houndstooth_red)
• Rarity: Ancient
• Float range: 0.06–0.80

Valve’s public blurb is basically the finish title—little fluff, all about the glove model and the red-forward naming. Ancient gloves tend to be scarce; price often moves hard with float. Wear starts at 0.06, so you get battle-scarred through lightly worn territory without a true Factory New floor—do not filter these like FN rifle skins.

Why it stands out

Thumbnails only hint at hue. Open inspect in-game before you buy: darkening, edge scuffing, and how the back-of-hand reads versus the palm shift noticeably across floats. Near 0.06 looks relatively clean; higher wear pushes a more beaten-in look. Pairing with a red knife or AK? Stand on the same map lighting and compare color temperature between gloves and weapon.

For collectors and players alike, tie case + float + inspect together: Broken Fang Weapon Case pedigree, Valve lineage, Sport Gloves fit for anyone who wants red as the main chord. Scroll inspect a few times on C5GAME or in your own client—beats trusting a single screenshot when you are about to click buy.
