★ Karambit | Boreal Forest (Minimal Wear)

The ★ Karambit | Boreal Forest in Minimal Wear (MW) is a Covert rank karambit with a float of 0.07 to 0.15. This CS2 knife, with the ★ mark, drops from eleven cases and ranks among the most affordable karambits of its tier.

What the ★ Karambit | Boreal Forest looks like in Minimal Wear

The camouflage is built from dark brown, olive and light green patches, with sand showing between them. It covers the blade and the ring entirely. The handle is a rich green holding gray notched inserts, and against it the camouflage on the blade looks especially mottled.

Here the band is 0.07 to 0.15. Inside it copies cannot be told apart by eye: the wear is fixed at drop, and the camouflage stays dense, without noticeable bare spots.

Phase and pattern

Picking by artwork is not an option. The camouflage is identical on every knife, so copies are compared only by the float figure and the name tag.

What to check before buying

With the ★ Karambit | Boreal Forest it is worth checking the following:

• float: the band is short, and the number hardly affects how the knife looks;


• name tag: allowed, though a karambit has no sticker slots;


• listing title: a StatTrak copy is set up as a separate product.

What the ★ Karambit | Boreal Forest costs in Minimal Wear

Factory New costs 3.68 times more. Field-Tested is 1.24 times cheaper, Well-Worn 1.20 times and Battle-Scarred 1.22 times. The three lower wears lie fairly close to one another.

Among thirty Covert karambits in this wear the finish is at the very bottom: only two skins are cheaper and twenty-seven are dearer. Urban Masked is higher by 6 percent, Bright Water by 5 and Scorched by 4. Below come Forest DDPAT (by 5) and Safari Mesh (by 10). The top of the row is Gamma Doppler Phase 3, Gamma Doppler Emerald and Doppler Sapphire.

Getting the ★ Karambit | Boreal Forest

Eleven cases hold this finish, among them the eSports 2014 Summer Case, the Operation Phoenix Weapon Case and the Operation Bravo Case. A trade-up needs five Covert skins of one type, and the result is random, so the finish cannot be chosen.

Is there a StatTrak version

You can also find the ★ Karambit | Boreal Forest with StatTrak: that edition exists in the game.

Who this wear suits

This is the wear to buy the ★ Karambit | Boreal Forest in if one of these fits:

• you want a forest camouflage knife whose wear is barely noticeable;


• the Factory New price is excessive, and the difference in looks is small;


• you need a karambit for a green CS2 loadout with minimal outlay.
