★ StatTrak™ Karambit | Boreal Forest (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Battle-Scarred is the most worn form of this forest camo karambit, where the steel underneath becomes a large part of the blade's look. The camo remains in broken patches across the flat of the blade, mixing with exposed metal. The grip and the overall silhouette stay intact, which keeps the knife recognisable.

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.

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The blade carries a forest camouflage hydrographic in olive, khaki, dark green and brown blotches that cover the flat of the curved blade and continue onto the finger ring. The sharpened edge is left as polished steel, which gives a thin bright outline along the curve.

Large areas of the blade show bare steel, with the camo left in broken patches across the flat. The spine, tip and edge are worn through, and the finger ring is heavily scuffed. In game the blade looks rough and mixed between metal and camo. The grip is still the cleanest part of the knife.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within its wear range, since the edge and tip of the blade show the difference first.
• Inspect the cutting edge, the tip and the spine in the inspect view, as these lose the camo before the rest of the blade.
• Look at the rim of the finger ring on worn copies, because it scuffs along with the blade.
• Decide whether the StatTrak™ version or a name tag matters to you before comparing offers.

Who the Battle-Scarred quality suits
