★ Butterfly Knife | Boreal Forest (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

The ★ Butterfly Knife | Boreal Forest in Battle-Scarred keeps only fragments of its forest camo, mostly near the blade spine and base. Much of the blade turns to bare metal, and the green handles lose paint along their edges and raised parts. It reads as a field-used tool with traces of green rather than a full camouflage finish.

Item type: knife. Covert is the top weapon rarity: usually the most prominent items of a collection or case.

Hydrographic: the pattern is applied as a film over the metal; wear rubs it down to the base, starting with raised parts.

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The blade carries a forest camouflage hydrographic in olive, dark green, near-black and pale grey patches that run along its curved profile up to the tip. Both handles are painted in a solid green, with grey-brown inlays set into their long channels and rows of cut-out holes along the sides.

Battle-Scarred leaves only scattered camo fragments, mostly near the spine and the base of the blade. The edge and most of the blade face are bare metal. The handles lose more green on their edges, raised parts and around the holes. In game the knife reads as worn steel with green handles.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since a low value keeps noticeably more camo on the blade.
• Inspect the cutting edge and tip first, as these lose the camouflage before any other part.
• Look at the handle edges and corners to see how much green paint has rubbed off.
• Note whether the copy has a name tag or StatTrak™ if that matters for you.
