★ Flip Knife | Forest DDPAT (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

★ Flip Knife | Forest DDPAT uses a digital forest camouflage, and in Battle-Scarred much of it has worn through to steel. Bare metal spreads from the edges and tip into the blade, while patches of green and brown pixels remain in the centre. This is the most accessible way into this knife model for those who value the animations and silhouette.

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: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Well-Worn.

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The curved, back-swept blade is fully covered with a digital disruptive pattern of square pixels in sage and dark green, tan, beige and deep brown, applied as a hydrographic. The pattern runs over the flat of the blade and continues across the serrated section near the base.

Most of the outer blade is bare steel, with the camouflage surviving mainly as scattered patches in the centre. The tip and serrations are fully worn. In first-person view the knife reads as a steel blade with traces of green and brown. The handle keeps its olive colour but shows rubbed ridges and edges.

Battle-Scarred wear: float 0.45–0.8

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since copies near the cleaner end keep more paint on the tip and edge.
• Look at the cutting edge, tip and serrations in inspect, because these lose the camouflage first.
• Pattern placement shifts the arrangement of green and brown blocks, so compare screenshots if you prefer a greener or browner blade.
• Note whether the copy is StatTrak™ or has a name tag, as both change the offer.
