★ StatTrak™ Flip Knife | Forest DDPAT (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Forest DDPAT on the Flip Knife is a green-and-brown digital camouflage, and the busy pixel layout hides light damage well. In Field-Tested the edge and tip begin to show steel, but the pattern across the middle of the blade still reads clearly. This grade is a balance between appearance and cost for a knife that is carried every match.

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 curved, back-swept blade is fully covered with a digital disruptive pattern of square pixels in sage and dark green, tan, beige and deep brown, applied as a hydrographic. The pattern runs over the flat of the blade and continues across the serrated section near the base.

Steel shows clearly along the cutting edge, at the tip and on the serrations, and thin scratches reach onto the spine. The middle of the blade keeps most of the pattern, though some pixels look slightly faded. At normal distance the knife still reads as camouflaged with a lightly used edge. The olive handle stays largely clean.

Field-Tested wear: float 0.15–0.38

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since copies near the cleaner end keep more paint on the tip and edge.
• Look at the cutting edge, tip and serrations in inspect, because these lose the camouflage first.
• Pattern placement shifts the arrangement of green and brown blocks, so compare screenshots if you prefer a greener or browner blade.
• Note whether the copy is StatTrak™ or has a name tag, as both change the offer.

Who should buy Field-Tested

• Everyday players who want the camouflage clearly visible at a moderate cost.
• Buyers who accept some steel on the edge since the pixel pattern masks it.
• A balanced option between look and budget.
