What the ★ Nomad Knife | Forest DDPAT looks like in Field-Tested

Valve describes the Nomad as an ergonomic folding knife with a lock, a wide sturdy blade and composite inserts in the handle. It is painted with DDPAT hydrographic film, a digital camouflage of squares. On the blade they are cream, sandy, olive and gray-brown. The handle is a plain green, with a brown ribbed insert toward the tail.

The camouflage covers the blade only, while the handle is a solid color. In Field-Tested the scuffs gather first on the tip and the spine. A Nomad's wear is fixed at drop and stays as it is.

Who this wear suits

Buying the ★ Nomad Knife | Forest DDPAT in this wear makes sense if:

• you want a pixel-camouflage knife in a green and sand palette at a price near the bottom of the row;


• the surcharge of a fifth for Minimal Wear is not justified, and a clean blade is not essential;


• your CS2 loadout is put together in military tones, where the green handle pairs with the olive pixels.
