★ Butterfly Knife | Forest DDPAT (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

★ Butterfly Knife | Forest DDPAT in Battle-Scarred trades a clean camo for a heavily scuffed blade. Large areas of steel show through the tan and green pixels, especially toward the edge and tip. The handles keep their dark tone and green inserts, which holds the knife's overall look together.

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 is covered in a digital disruptive pattern of tan, khaki, olive and dark green pixels applied as a hydrographic. The pattern runs over the whole blade, including the swept tip and the area near the pivot.

Much of the blade shows bare steel, with the camo surviving mainly in the middle and near the base. The edge, tip and spine are worn through. The handles with their green inserts look the cleanest part of the knife.
