★ Survival Knife | Boreal Forest (Field-Tested)

★ Survival Knife | Boreal Forest in Field-Tested (FT): a CS2 survival knife with green-brown camouflage over a sandy base. Covert rank, with the ★ mark. Its cases are the Shattered Web Case and the Fracture Case. There are five wears, and the float of the finish runs from 0.06 to 0.80. This wear of the ★ Survival Knife | Boreal Forest is allotted 0.15 to 0.38.

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

The blade has a clipped point, a gutting hook on the spine, a long cutout and a saw section at the base. Patches of light green, olive and brown forest camouflage are scattered across the sandy ground color. The composite handle is sandy too, with green fastener heads. Valve describes the finish as hydrographic film with a forest camouflage.

In Field-Tested, scuffs land on the point and the cutting edge, and they are hardly noticeable against the camouflage. The wear is set at the drop and stays.

Where the ★ Survival Knife | Boreal Forest came from

The model appeared on November 19, 2019, together with Operation Shattered Web: the survival knife was one of the four new knives Valve introduced at the time. Back then Boreal Forest sat in the case of the same name alone.

What to check before buying

What separates one listing of this survival knife from another:

• float: in this wear both 0.15 and 0.38 fit, and such listings look different;


• name tag: allowed on the survival knife, and it stays after purchase;


• the condition of the point and edge, judged from the listing's image.

The artwork does not vary on this knife, and all copies are alike.
