Tec-9 | Bamboo Forest (Factory New)

The Tec-9 | Bamboo Forest (Factory New) is a Consumer Grade pistol finish built around a brush-painted bamboo hydrographic. Factory New shows that artwork at its sharpest.

Design

Valve made this finish, applying a hydrographic covered in brush-painted bamboo stalks for a calm, nature-themed look rather than anything tactical. It even carries a lighthearted in-game line: "I still think it should have a panda - Booth, Arms Dealer."

Tec-9 | Bamboo Forest (Factory New) Float and Wear

Float on this finish runs from 0.00 to a 0.60 cap, and Factory New sits at the very bottom of that range. The bamboo brushwork looks crisp and well-defined here, with no scuffing to speak of. Because the whole finish never reaches a full 1.0 float, its roughest grade will still be milder than many other pistol skins.

Tec-9 | Bamboo Forest Rarity

Rarity: Consumer Grade, the white tier — the most common classification and the base of the standard rarity ladder.

Tec-9 | Bamboo Forest Case and Collection

This finish is part of The Rising Sun Collection, added with Operation Bloodhound in May 2015. It doesn't come from a weapon case, so regular copies are picked up through collection drops and trade-ups instead of unboxing.

Tec-9 | Bamboo Forest Patterns

The design is fixed, so the paint-seed index does nothing to change how a copy looks — every Bamboo Forest carries the same brushwork. There's no "best pattern" or blue-gem seed to hunt for here; only wear and float set copies apart.

StatTrak & Souvenir

This finish exists as a regular finish only — no StatTrak version and no Souvenir version were ever made. Souvenir weapons come exclusively from Major-tournament packages, and this finish, tied to Operation Bloodhound rather than a Major, was never offered in one.

Tec-9 | Bamboo Forest Price

Factory New sits at the top of this finish's price ladder, a premium pick within the Tec-9 line for buyers who want the artwork at its cleanest. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Factory New a noticeable step up on the Bamboo Forest?

Somewhat — the brush-painted bamboo already reads clearly by Minimal Wear, so Factory New mostly appeals to buyers chasing the lowest possible float rather than a dramatically different look.

Does the Bamboo Forest have a StatTrak or Souvenir version?

No, this finish exists only as a regular skin — Valve never released StatTrak or Souvenir copies of it. Since it wasn't part of a Major souvenir package or a StatTrak-enabled case, neither variant was ever produced.

Why is Battle-Scarred on this skin milder than expected?

The whole finish is float-capped at 0.60 rather than the usual 1.00, so even its worst copies stop short of extreme wear. That cap applies across every grade, including this top-condition Factory New page.
