★ Butterfly Knife | Boreal Forest (Factory New)

Skin overview

★ Butterfly Knife | Boreal Forest is a balisong with a forest camouflage hydrographic on the blade and solid green handles. The camo mixes olive, dark green, near-black and pale grey patches in a soft woodland pattern. In Factory New the colours sit evenly across the blade and the green handles keep a uniform, unbroken coat.

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.

Appearance in Factory New

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. The pivot pins, latch and the small metal parts near the base stay in plain metal tones. On worn copies the camo goes first at the cutting edge and the tip, then spreads across the blade face, while the handles lose green paint on their outer edges and corners.

Factory New covers only a narrow slice at the bottom of this skin's range. The camo on the blade is complete from base to tip, and the green handles show an even coat. At normal distance the knife looks exactly like the clean render. Nothing on the edge or handles is rubbed through.

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.

Who should buy Factory New

• Conclusion: the choice for an untouched look.
