Paracord Knife | Boreal Forest

Origin Story

The Paracord Knife | Boreal Forest features a forest camouflage hydrographic, presenting a muted olive green, dark forest green, brown, and black pattern across its blade and handle. Released on November 19, 2019, as part of the Operation Shattered Web update, this knife offers a realistic military aesthetic. It is often chosen by players seeking a unique knife silhouette without the higher cost of more expensive models. The Boreal Forest pattern is recognized for its older, budget military-camo appearance.

Drop Chance

Paracord Knife | Boreal Forest is a knife-tier skin, so standard Valve rarity odds don't apply. Knives drop at a combined rate of approximately 0.26% from supported cases before accounting for which knife type and finish you get. Valve doesn't publish individual knife or phase probabilities.

Visual Theme

Hydrographic: It has been painted using a forest camouflage hydrographic. This results in a pattern of muted olive green, dark forest green, brown, and black. In first-person view, the camo pattern is most visible on the blade and the front portion of the handle. Boreal Forest knives are often compared to other green camo or military finishes like Safari Mesh and Forest DDPAT.

Sticker Compatibility

Knives do not have sticker slots, so this item cannot be sticker-crafted. Any visual synergy with stickers would occur on weapon skins, where green, brown, black, or military-themed stickers could complement the Boreal Forest pattern.
