★ Paracord Knife | Boreal Forest (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The Boreal Forest finish turns the Paracord Knife into a muted woodland piece, where the green cord and the camouflage blade share one palette. In Minimal Wear the blade still reads as fully painted. Any marks are small and stay near the cutting edge and the tip.

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, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The tanto-style blade is covered in a woodland camouflage of olive, dark brown, pale yellow-green and mint patches on a sandy khaki base. The camouflage runs over the whole blade, including the long slot cut through the flat and the notched spine near the guard.

Small scuffs may appear on the cutting edge and near the tip. The flat of the blade and the spine stay fully painted. At normal distance in game it is hard to tell apart from Factory New. The cord and the camouflage colours look fresh.

• Compare how the camouflage patches fall on the blade between copies, as the hydrographic placement can differ.
• Check whether the copy is StatTrak™ and whether it carries a name tag, if either matters to you.
