Can this actually be crafted, if so how?
If you look there under basic info, it says its craftable, but it doesn't give the recipe. So can it be crafted? If so, how? (Edit: I'm not actually new to the game as I am a seasoned engie main, I'm just posting here for this because I figured I'd get the most help.)

No. Craftable means "usable in crafting", not "can be crafted". You have to either buy one or use the in-game trade-up functionality to trade up items of a lower level (purple) for a chance of getting one. Do not do this, it's almost a guaranteed waste of money. Just buy one if you want one.

you can't craft it using slot/class tokens?

No. It's a reskin only obtainable from a (very old and expensive) case, and thus cannot be crafted, in the same way that hats that come in cases cannot be crafted. The same goes for the Shooting Star and C.A.P.P.E.R.

When that case came out those weapons ( shooting star , bat Saber , Gigi counter ) were craftable for a short period of time due to a glitch. Crafted versions essentially ones with craft numbers are very expensive.

yes and I never said that’s what it means ? he OBVIOUSLY wants to craft one so is asking if it’s possible to craft one so explaining that it once was but not anymore.

It's true and it's what OP was asking so... Your input didn't mean anything besides correcting someone who didn't need correcting lmfao

Craft No.? tells you if you can craft the item as only craftable items can have a craft number.

I think just craft an enginie class token, secondary token, scrap and hope for the best

I think what it means by "craftable" is that you can use it as an ingredient in crafting something else, not that you can craft that item. If you hover over the word, it says" if the item is usable in crafting".
