Description
The Karambit | Boreal Forest is a Counter-Strike 2 weapon skin built on the CS:GO (legacy) model, bringing a durable jungle-inspired look to one of the game’s most iconic knife designs. As part of the CS:GO-era skin lineup, it carried forward into CS2, where it remains a popular choice for players seeking a Karambit variant with a rugged, camouflage-like finish.
This skin is classified as Covert rarity, indicating it is significantly rarer than standard weapon skins. Exact drop chances aren’t publicly confirmed in a consistent, shareable way for every case and region, but Covert items are generally uncommon and typically require opening specific weapon cases where the skin is listed.
Players can choose from multiple wear levels: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred. StatTrak™ is available, allowing owners to track kills with the knife, while Souvenir versions are not available for this skin. The float range for this item runs from 0.06 to 0.8, meaning it can appear from near-pristine finishes down to visibly more worn surface condition depending on the roll.
Visually, the Boreal Forest finish delivers a layered, nature-forward camouflage pattern with cool, earthy tones designed to blend into outdoor environments. With the Karambit’s curved blade and distinctive handle shape, the pattern placement and contrast help the knife stand out—whether you prefer subtle, dark streaks or a more pronounced worn texture in lower-condition versions. The skin uses Paint index: 77, which influences how the pattern aligns with the knife model.
You can obtain the Karambit | Boreal Forest by opening cases and containers where it appears, including: CS:GO Weapon Case, Operation Phoenix Weapon Case, Revolver Case, Operation Bravo Case, eSports 2014 Summer Case, Operation Vanguard Weapon Case, eSports 2013 Winter Case, eSports 2013 Case, Winter Offensive Weapon Case, CS:GO Weapon Case 2, and CS:GO Weapon Case 3. It is also listed as not found in any collections.
In the community, the Karambit remains a top-tier preference due to its recognizable silhouette, and the Boreal Forest pattern adds a practical, outdoorsy aesthetic that appeals to players who want something more grounded than bright or highly stylized knife finishes. Overall, it’s widely regarded as a strong “everyday” Covert Karambit choice—especially for those who like camouflage-inspired looks and want a StatTrak option for long-term tracking.
