★ Survival Knife | Forest DDPAT (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

★ Survival Knife | Forest DDPAT in Battle-Scarred keeps only part of its tan, brown and green pixel pattern, with wide areas of grey steel across the blade edges and tip. The green handle stays largely intact and gives the knife a stable colour accent. It is the most affordable way to get this knife model with a camouflage 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.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Well-Worn.

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The blade is covered from tip to guard in a digital camouflage of sand, light brown, dark brown and green square blocks, including the area around the long slot cut through the blade. The gut hook near the tip and the serrated section by the guard are painted in the same pattern, with the serration teeth showing steel at their points.

Large parts of the blade show grey steel, especially the tip, the cutting edge, the gut hook and the serrations. The pixel pattern survives in patches on the flat of the blade and around the slot. The handle may show scuffs on raised edges but keeps its solid green colour. In game the knife reads as a worn steel blade with traces of camouflage.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits inside the wear grade, since a low float in Field-Tested or Well-Worn keeps noticeably more paint on the tip and edge.
• Inspect the cutting edge, the tip, the gut hook and the serrations, as these lose paint first.
• The pattern placement shifts between copies but has little effect on the look of this camouflage, so it rarely needs to be a priority.
• Look for a name tag and decide whether you want a StatTrak™ version, as both change which copy fits you.
