Karambit | Forest DDPAT

Origin Story

The Karambit | Forest DDPAT emerged on August 14, 2013, as part of The Arms Deal update, which first introduced weapon skins to Counter-Strike. Its design features a Digital Disruptive Pattern (DDPAT) hydrographic, giving the blade a pixelated camouflage aesthetic in muted greens, browns, and grays. This finish is often regarded by players as an "old school" camo, appealing to those who prefer military-themed or understated knife appearances. The in-game flavor text, "By the time you're close enough to notice the pixels it's already too late," highlights the close-quarters lethality associated with the karambit. This skin is a foundational piece from the game's earliest days of weapon customization.

Drop Chance

Karambit | Forest DDPAT 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.

Skin Condition

Float range 0.06 to 0.8. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Minimal Wear (No Recent Price): The digital camo pattern on the blade is almost fully intact, with colors at their most vibrant, showing only tiny edge micro-scratches.
• Field-Tested (No Recent Price): Noticeable but moderate wear appears as small patches of exposed metal on the blade's edge and tip, with some dulling of the green and brown tones.
• Well-Worn (No Recent Price): Larger areas along the blade's edge and tip show continuous wear, with more underlying metal visible and the camo pattern looking faded in those sections.
• Battle-Scarred (No Recent Price): Extensive wear covers much of the blade, with significant metal exposure and heavy fading of the digital camo on all high-contact surfaces, giving it a washed-out appearance.

Model

Forest DDPAT uses the legacy Karambit model, introduced with The Arms Deal on August 14, 2013. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.

How to Obtain

The Karambit | Forest DDPAT is obtained as a rare special item from opening CS:GO Weapon Cases, CS:GO Weapon Case 2, or CS:GO Weapon Case 3. These cases are part of the legacy case drop pool, meaning new copies enter circulation slowly. A StatTrak version is also available for kill tracking.

Price Range

Visual Theme

Hydrographic: It has been painted using a Digital Disruptive Pattern (DDPAT) hydrographic. This karambit features muted green, brown, and dark grey/black tones arranged in a digital camouflage pattern. In first-person view, the blade's camo pattern and the curved cutting edge are the most visible elements. Forest DDPAT finishes are often compared to other camo-themed skins like Boreal Forest and regular Forest skins, grouped together as military-style knives rather than flashy designs.
