★ Nomad Knife | Boreal Forest (Factory New)

The ★ Nomad Knife | Boreal Forest (Factory New) is a Covert knife finish painted in a forest camouflage hydrographic. Factory New is the lowest-float grade this finish comes in, giving the camo its most well-defined, unblemished look.

Design

Boreal Forest coats the blade in a forest camouflage hydrographic, an earthy, woodland-styled pattern built for blending in rather than standing out. The flavor line leans into that hunted, on-edge feeling: "The woods can be a dangerous place... never travel alone."

★ Nomad Knife | Boreal Forest (Factory New) Float and Wear

Boreal Forest's float runs from 0.06 to 0.80, and Factory New occupies the bottom 0.06–0.07 band — the finish's lowest-float, most detailed grade. At this level the camo pattern reads sharp with no scuffing across the blade's surfaces.

Nomad Knife | Boreal Forest Rarity

Boreal Forest holds a Covert ★ rating, the rare special ("knife") classification — a gold-tier pull that stands apart from and above the standard weapon rarities in its source cases.

Nomad Knife | Boreal Forest Case and Collection

This finish can come from the Shattered Web Case or the Fracture Case. Either case gives roughly a 0.26% chance at any knife, a rate shared across the whole rare-special tier rather than tied to Boreal Forest specifically, which is why most buyers pick it up on the market instead of unboxing.

Nomad Knife | Boreal Forest Patterns

There's no seed-based variation here — the woodland camo layout is fixed and identical on every copy, so no "best pattern" or blue-gem search applies to this finish. Only wear grade and float set copies apart.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ version of this knife exists, tracking confirmed kills with a permanent counter that carries through trades and sales, at a premium over the base version. There's no Souvenir edition, since that classification only comes from Major-tournament packages, and knives never appear in them.
