★ Nomad Knife | Boreal Forest (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

The Nomad Knife in Boreal Forest is a forest camo knife whose appeal lies in its understated, military look. In Well-Worn the paint is visibly thinned, with grey steel showing through along the edges of the blade and the raised parts of the handle. The camo still reads as camo, just older and more weathered.

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 Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Well-Worn

The broad blade is covered in irregular camouflage blotches of olive, dark khaki, pale yellow-green and mint green over a light grey-beige base, while the polished cutting edge shows bare steel. The handle frame and bolster are painted in the same light beige-grey, with a row of holes, a green pivot screw and small green accents.

Paint loss is clear along the whole edge of the blade and at the tip, with grey steel showing through. The handle frame and bolster have worn corners and scratched raised areas. In game the knife looks noticeably weathered, though the camo pattern is still recognisable. The flat middle of the blade keeps most of its colour.
