★ StatTrak™ Butterfly Knife | Boreal Forest (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

This ★ Butterfly Knife | Boreal Forest is defined by its natural, unflashy palette of greens and dark patches rather than bright colour. In Field-Tested the camo starts to break up along the blade edge and tip, and bare metal shows through in places. The worn look fits the hunting-camouflage theme and does not fight with the pattern.

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, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Field-Tested

The blade carries a forest camouflage hydrographic in olive, dark green, near-black and pale grey patches that run along its curved profile up to the tip. Both handles are painted in a solid green, with grey-brown inlays set into their long channels and rows of cut-out holes along the sides.

In Field-Tested the cutting edge and tip show visible bare metal, and scuffs begin to cut into the camo patches. The blade face still carries most of the pattern. The handles start to lose paint on their outer edges and corners. At normal distance the knife still reads as green camo, with wear visible on inspection.

Field-Tested wear: float 0.15–0.38

The float of ★ StatTrak™ Butterfly Knife | Boreal Forest ranges from 0.06 to 0.8; the Field-Tested quality covers 0.15–0.38 — 31% of this skin’s scale. Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Where the skin comes from: collection and case

It is the rare special item of Operation Breakout Weapon Case (on sale since Jun 23, 2014) — knives and gloves drop far less often than the regular contents.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since a low value keeps noticeably more camo on the blade.
• Inspect the cutting edge and tip first, as these lose the camouflage before any other part.
• Look at the handle edges and corners to see how much green paint has rubbed off.
• Note whether the copy has a name tag or StatTrak™ if that matters for you.

Who the Field-Tested quality suits

• Players who like a used, field-tool look that fits the camo theme.
• Buyers who want the butterfly knife animations with this finish at a lower grade.
• Conclusion: a balanced everyday option.
