★ Flip Knife | Forest DDPAT (Factory New)

Skin overview

★ Flip Knife | Forest DDPAT covers the back-swept blade in a digital camouflage of green, tan and dark brown squares, paired with an olive handle. In Factory New the pixel blocks keep sharp borders and the colours sit evenly from the tip down to the serrations. This is the version for buyers who want the camouflage exactly as designed, with no bare steel showing.

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.

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

How the skin looks in Factory New

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. The handle is finished in a solid olive green with diagonal grooves, a slot near the pivot and a textured area towards the pommel. On worn copies the paint goes first from the cutting edge, the tip, the spine and the serrations, revealing grey steel. The handle and the centre of the blade hold the colour longest.

The pixel pattern is intact across the whole blade, including the tip and serrations. Square edges stay crisp and the colours are evenly saturated. In first-person view the knife looks clean and uniform. Factory New copies of this skin sit in a narrow band at the bottom of its float range.

What to look at before you buy

• 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.
