★ Butterfly Knife | Boreal Forest (Battle-Scarred)

Battle-Scarred (BS) is the longest wear of the ★ Butterfly Knife | Boreal Forest. It occupies 0.45 to 0.80, about half of the full range of 0.06 to 0.80. Covert rank, with the ★ mark. Its source is the Operation Breakout Weapon Case.

What the ★ Butterfly Knife | Boreal Forest looks like in Battle-Scarred

The blade is covered in forest camouflage: patches of olive, dark green, brown and sand lie mixed together. The handles are bright green, each with a gray-olive inset in the middle. That bright green on the handles contrasts strongly with the restrained blade.

Wear is less noticeable on camouflage than on solid paint, since scuffs get lost among the patches. The float is set at the drop, so the knife stays as it dropped.

Phase and pattern

There is no choosing by pattern on the ★ Butterfly Knife | Boreal Forest. The camouflage is the same on every copy, and the finish has no phases or gems.

What to check before buying

Before paying for a ★ Butterfly Knife | Boreal Forest, look at these things:

• float: the number matters more than the wear label;


• the edge of the blade: on forest paint, scuffing there shows best;


• name tag: the knife accepts its own name, and it has no stickers.

You can buy the ★ Butterfly Knife | Boreal Forest in this wear with varying amounts of wear, since the band of 0.45 to 0.80 is wide.

What the ★ Butterfly Knife | Boreal Forest costs in Battle-Scarred

Battle-Scarred is the bottom wear of this finish. Well-Worn and Field-Tested cost the same, Minimal Wear is about a tenth more, and Factory New nearly twice as much.

Getting the ★ Butterfly Knife | Boreal Forest

The knife is found in the Operation Breakout Weapon Case, and the finish has no other cases. The second route in CS2 is a craft: five Covert skins of one type (all normal or all StatTrak) turn into a random rare special item. Neither the model nor the finish can be chosen in it, so the knife you want is easier to take as a ready lot.

Is there a StatTrak version

The game also has this knife with StatTrak.

Who this wear suits

Battle-Scarred is a sensible choice for the ★ Butterfly Knife | Boreal Forest when:

• you want a green camouflage butterfly knife for a CS2 loadout in greens and browns;


• price matters, and scuffs get lost in the camouflage patches;


• the upper wears of the finish, nearly twice as expensive, are not needed.
