How will knife cut scar look like? i got a 5cm deep cut,it's a month now and it's getting better. what colour will the scar be after its healed?

Varies: but in caucasians, it will be slightly pinker or not different color than surrounding area BUT slightly raised ans shinier. If you are more pigmented, then the pigmentation is changed by the scar. Can be heavier or lighter, but won't exactly match.
