★ Classic Knife | Boreal Forest (Factory New)

Skin overview

★ Classic Knife | Boreal Forest covers the blade in a forest camouflage of olive, lime, jade green and pale beige blotches, set off by a green guard and a sand-coloured handle. In Factory New the hydrographic is complete to the tip and along the edge, so every patch keeps its crisp outline. This grade suits a buyer who wants the camouflage exactly as designed.

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.

Other qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Factory New

The blade carries a forest camouflage hydrographic of olive, lime yellow-green, jade green and pale beige blotches, with soft-edged patches running from the guard to the tip. A thin light band follows the cutting edge, and the serrations near the base sit inside the pattern. The guard is a solid jade green, and the sand-coloured handle has a diamond grip texture with small green accents and a lanyard hole at the pommel. On worn copies the paint goes first at the tip, along the cutting edge and on the spine, then spreads into the lighter patches of the flat.

The camouflage is intact on the whole blade, including the tip and the cutting edge. Patch borders are sharp and the colours keep full saturation. The guard and handle look new. In game the knife reads as a clean green camo blade from any angle.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the grade, since a low-float copy shows noticeably less wear on the tip and edge.
• Look at the tip, cutting edge and spine on the inspect screenshot, as these lose paint first.
• Compare pattern placement, because the camouflage patches fall differently on each copy and some show more of the bright lime and jade areas.
• Note whether the knife has a name tag or StatTrak™ and whether that matters to you.

• Players who inspect their knife often and notice every mark.
