★ Karambit | Boreal Forest (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

In Well-Worn this karambit shows its camo in patches: the hydrographic still covers much of the blade, but steel shows through at the edge, the tip and the spine. The green grip keeps its colour, so the knife still reads as a green woodland piece. It is a way to own the karambit shape with a clearly used, rugged look.

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.

Appearance in Well-Worn

The blade carries a forest camouflage hydrographic in olive, khaki, dark green and brown blotches that cover the flat of the curved blade and continue onto the finger ring. The sharpened edge is left as polished steel, which gives a thin bright outline along the curve.

Steel is clearly exposed along the edge, the tip and the spine, and the wear starts to spread into the camo on the blade. The finger ring shows worn patches on its rim. In game the knife reads as camo with obvious metal showing through. The grip still keeps its green and tan colours.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within its wear range, since the edge and tip of the blade show the difference first.
• Inspect the cutting edge, the tip and the spine in the inspect view, as these lose the camo before the rest of the blade.
• Look at the rim of the finger ring on worn copies, because it scuffs along with the blade.
• Decide whether the StatTrak™ version or a name tag matters to you before comparing offers.

Who the Well-Worn quality suits
