Survival Knife | Boreal Forest

Origin Story

The Survival Knife | Boreal Forest was introduced on November 19, 2019, as part of the Operation Shattered Web update. Its design features a forest camouflage hydrographic, giving the blade a muted woodland pattern. The in-game description notes that it has been painted using this hydrographic technique. As the flavor text warns, "The woods can be a dangerous place... never travel alone," hinting at the knife's rugged, wilderness-ready appearance.
