★ StatTrak™ Huntsman Knife | Forest DDPAT (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

★ Huntsman Knife | Forest DDPAT in Battle-Scarred keeps the recognisable Huntsman shape and black grip, but the forest pixels survive mostly as patches between scuffed steel. The blade reads largely metallic with camouflage fragments, which some players prefer for a rugged look. It is the most affordable way to carry this knife model with this finish.

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 Well-Worn.

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The hydrographic Forest DDPAT pattern covers the whole tanto blade, the sawback teeth on the spine and the metal guard, in small square pixels of beige, pale grey, olive green and dark brown. The pattern runs without a fixed layout, so the placement of green and brown clusters shifts from copy to copy.

Most of the blade is scuffed steel, with the forest pixels left as scattered patches, mostly away from the edge. The guard is heavily worn and the teeth are fully bare. At normal distance the knife reads as metallic with traces of camouflage. Only the black grip looks as it does on clean copies.
