The ★ StatTrak™ Shadow Daggers | Boreal Forest (Battle-Scarred, BS) is the StatTrak™ copy of this skin — the same Covert ★ finish, the same look, with a kill counter built into the model. The woodland-style green-and-gray hydrographic that defines this finish is still fully identifiable at the roughest grade — it's a design built on color and texture rather than a fine graphic that would disappear under wear. Battle-Scarred covers everything from 0.45 up to 1.00 float — the most heavily worn grade and the cheapest way into the skin.

What StatTrak™ changes about the price of the Shadow Daggers | Boreal Forest

What the counter tracks is confirmed kills, shown as a running total on the model itself. It is tied to the item, not to the owner, so the number follows the skin from inventory to inventory and only ever goes up. A StatTrak™ Swap Tool moves a count between two StatTrak™ items of the same type, which is as close to a reset as the game allows.

Where a StatTrak™ copy comes from

The StatTrak™ premium comes from scarcity: far fewer copies exist at the same finish and exterior. It is the finish and the float that set the figure, though — the kill count on a given copy barely moves it either way.

FAQ

Boreal Forest only comes from the Shadow Case, at around 0.26% odds for the rare-special tier per opening. StatTrak™ is settled at the drop: a copy either leaves the case with a counter or never has one, and it cannot be added afterwards.

Can the StatTrak counter on the Shadow Daggers | Boreal Forest be reset?

No. The count only moves one way and stays with the item through every trade and sale. A StatTrak™ Swap Tool moves a count between two StatTrak™ items of the same type, which is as close to a reset as the game allows. It still cannot lower the number.

Does StatTrak change how the Shadow Daggers | Boreal Forest looks?

No, apart from the counter on the model. The finish, the pattern and the float range are identical to the plain version, so at the same exterior the two look the same in hand.
