★ Butterfly Knife | Boreal Forest (Minimal Wear)

The ★ Butterfly Knife | Boreal Forest in Minimal Wear (MW) is a green camouflage butterfly knife. Covert rank, with the ★ mark. The wear is short here: 0.07 to 0.15 on the finish's scale of 0.06 to 0.80, roughly eleven percent. In CS2 it comes from the Operation Breakout Weapon Case.

What the ★ Butterfly Knife | Boreal Forest looks like in Minimal Wear

The blade is covered in camouflage of olive, dark green, brown and light sand patches. The handles are a saturated green with a gray-olive inset in the middle. The grip and the catch are dark.

In Minimal Wear the metal is still clean, and the camouflage reads sharply. Wear is fixed at the drop, and the knife does not wear down over time.

Phase and pattern

Choosing the ★ Butterfly Knife | Boreal Forest by pattern is not a thing, because the pattern is identical on every lot. Copies differ only in float.

What to check before buying

What matters when buying the ★ Butterfly Knife | Boreal Forest:

• float: in this wear the band is a short 0.07 to 0.15, so chasing the number is pointless;


• the cleanness of the blade edge and the handles;


• version: the normal and StatTrak versions are sold as separate products.

What the ★ Butterfly Knife | Boreal Forest costs in Minimal Wear

Factory New is 1.76 times as expensive. Field-Tested is cheaper by a factor of 1.12, and Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred by 1.11.

In this wear the butterfly knife has twenty-eight priced finishes, and Boreal Forest is third from the bottom: only Safari Mesh and Forest DDPAT are cheaper, and twenty-five are pricier. Above come Bright Water, Scorched and Urban Masked, with a margin of six to eight percent. At the top of the row stand Doppler Phase 4, Sapphire and Ruby.

Getting the ★ Butterfly Knife | Boreal Forest

The knife comes from the Operation Breakout Weapon Case or from a craft. In a craft, five Covert skins, either all normal or all StatTrak, give a random rare special item from the collections of the skins put in. Neither the model nor the finish can be chosen in a craft.

Is there a StatTrak version

This knife can be had with StatTrak in the game too.

Who this wear suits

Buying the ★ Butterfly Knife | Boreal Forest in this wear makes sense if:

• you want a green butterfly knife with clean metal, and Factory New, nearly twice as much, is not needed;


• your CS2 loadout is built on camouflage and green;


• the difference from the lower wears, about ten percent, is justified by a smoother edge.
