★ Butterfly Knife | Boreal Forest (Field-Tested)

★ Butterfly Knife | Boreal Forest in Field-Tested (FT): a CS2 butterfly knife with forest camouflage on the blade and green handles. Covert rank, with the ★ mark. It drops from the Operation Breakout Weapon Case. All five wears of the finish exist, and the float scale runs from 0.06 to 0.80. This wear of the ★ Butterfly Knife | Boreal Forest sits between 0.15 and 0.38.

What the ★ Butterfly Knife | Boreal Forest looks like in Field-Tested

The blade curves toward its point and is covered in camouflage of dark olive, green and brown patches, with rare light flecks. The handles are a rich green with gray-brown scales set into them, and a row of round holes runs along each half. The latch is dark. Valve's description has the camouflage applied by hydrographic film.

In Field-Tested, paint rubs off the point of the blade and the ridges of the handles. Between 0.15 and 0.38 the scuffing builds up noticeably. The wear is laid in at the drop, and the butterfly knife stays as it is from then on.

What to check before buying

When choosing a listing of this butterfly knife, this is what counts:

• float: nearer 0.15 the green lacquer on the handles is better preserved, while around 0.38 the marks show more;


• artwork: all copies match, so there is no lucky colorway to hunt for;


• applied name: a name tag fits the butterfly knife and stays on it after purchase.
