★ Navaja Knife | Boreal Forest (Field-Tested)

★ Navaja Knife | Boreal Forest in Field-Tested (FT): a camouflage navaja for CS2 and one of the cheaper finishes of its model. Covert rank, with the ★ mark; it drops from the Horizon Case and the Danger Zone Case. On the finish's float scale of 0.06 to 0.80, the share set aside for Field-Tested is 0.15 to 0.38.

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

Forest camouflage covers the blade and the metal part at the heel: olive, light green, brown and sandy patches with no clear repeat. The handle itself is smooth, a beige khaki, with green trim and green rivets. The finish is calm, with no shiny or bright details on it.

In Field-Tested, scuffing gathers on the tip of the blade and on the raised ridges. Wear is fixed at the drop. The band of this wear is wide, so a knife with a float of 0.16 and one with a float of 0.37 can look different.

What to check before buying

Before paying for the ★ Navaja Knife | Boreal Forest, it helps to check:

• float: here the number matters more than the label, since the 0.15 to 0.38 band holds a range of looks;


• an applied name: it stays on the navaja after purchase;


• the artwork: the pattern is not rolled per copy, and every copy is the same.

What the ★ Navaja Knife | Boreal Forest costs in Field-Tested

For this finish, Field-Tested is the cheapest of the five wears. Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred cost a few percent more, Minimal Wear about a fifth more, and Factory New more than four times as much.

Among Covert navaja finishes this one stands near the bottom: only Safari Mesh is cheaper. Alongside it, level or a little higher, come Forest DDPAT, Scorched, Urban Masked and Night Stripe. Crimson Web costs almost twice as much, Case Hardened twice, and Slaughter more than twice.

Getting the ★ Navaja Knife | Boreal Forest

The knife drops from the Horizon Case and the Danger Zone Case, with a random wear on the drop. The second route is a trade-up: five Covert skins yield one rare special item, but neither the model nor the finish can be picked there. A specific navaja can only be had as a ready-made listing.

Is there a StatTrak version

The ★ Navaja Knife | Boreal Forest has a StatTrak™ version.

Who this wear suits

Field-Tested is the reasonable buy for this navaja when:

• you want a Covert navaja at the lowest price among the wears of this finish;


• your CS2 loadout calls for forest camouflage in an olive and sand palette;


• you do not need the extra cleanliness of Factory New, and a float from the middle of the scale suits you.
