★ Butterfly Knife | Forest DDPAT (Factory New)

Skin overview

★ Butterfly Knife | Forest DDPAT puts a hydrographic digital camouflage in tan, olive and dark green pixels across the curved blade. The handles stay dark with green inserts, so the camo sits on the blade alone. In Factory New the pixel grid is crisp and the blade edge shows no exposed steel.

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.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The blade is covered in a digital disruptive pattern of tan, khaki, olive and dark green pixels applied as a hydrographic. The pattern runs over the whole blade, including the swept tip and the area near the pivot. The handles are dark brown-grey metal with recessed green inserts and cut-out holes, and the latch and pivot are in matching dark tones. On worn copies the paint goes first from the cutting edge, the tip and the spine, then from the flat of the blade, revealing grey steel underneath.

The camo is complete from the base of the blade to the tip. Pixel edges are sharp and the colours are at their most saturated. In game the blade reads as an even green-tan pattern next to the dark handles.

What to check before buying

• Look at the cutting edge and tip in the inspect screenshot, since they lose paint first.
• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, as low-float copies of a grade look noticeably cleaner.
• The Factory New range is narrow for this skin, so compare it with low Minimal Wear before paying more.
• Check for a name tag and StatTrak™ if they matter to you.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the pattern fully intact.
• Players who value a clean blade during inspect.
• A good choice for those who want the cleanest version.
