How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The hydrographic Forest DDPAT pattern covers the whole tanto blade, the sawback teeth on the spine and the metal guard, in small square pixels of beige, pale grey, olive green and dark brown. The pattern runs without a fixed layout, so the placement of green and brown clusters shifts from copy to copy.

Most of the blade is scuffed steel, with the forest pixels left as scattered patches, mostly away from the edge. The guard is heavily worn and the teeth are fully bare. At normal distance the knife reads as metallic with traces of camouflage. Only the black grip looks as it does on clean copies.
