★ Butterfly Knife | Case Hardened (Battle-Scarred)

Battle-Scarred (BS) takes more than half of the whole float scale of the ★ Butterfly Knife | Case Hardened: 55%, the stretch from 0.45 to 1.00. The knife is Covert, with the ★ mark, and the Operation Breakout Weapon Case is its source. In CS2 the butterfly is a folding knife whose blade fans open on freely turning handle halves.

What the ★ Butterfly Knife | Case Hardened looks like in Battle-Scarred

The blade is covered in shimmering patches, with blue, golden, purple and brownish areas running into one another across the steel. The handle is black, and a gold-cream stripe is set into each half.

The float is the highest here, so there are more scuffs on the metal and paint than in any other wear of the skin. Wear is fixed at the moment of the drop and stays as it was.

What to check before buying

Picking a particular ★ Butterfly Knife | Case Hardened comes down to these points:

• Float: the scale of this wear lies between 0.45 and 1.00, and copies closer to 0.45 are cleaner.


• Listing picture: the layout of the colored patches on the blade is checked against the screenshot of that very copy.


• Name tag: you can put one on the knife, but it has no stickers.


• StatTrak: this finish has the version, and it is sold as a separate item.

What the ★ Butterfly Knife | Case Hardened costs in Battle-Scarred

Factory New is dearer than Battle-Scarred by 2.28 times, Minimal Wear by 1.26 times. Field-Tested costs the same, and Well-Worn is even cheaper, by 1.08 times.

Among Covert butterflies in this wear, the finish takes the top line of a row of 18: 17 are cheaper and none is dearer.

Getting the ★ Butterfly Knife | Case Hardened

The knife drops from the Operation Breakout Weapon Case, and the float of a copy is decided at the moment the case is opened.

A CS2 trade-up is not tied to this knife. Five Covert skins of one type, all normal or all StatTrak, are exchanged for a random model from the collections of the skins put in. You cannot pick this knife that way.

Is there a StatTrak version

Yes, there is a StatTrak version of the ★ Butterfly Knife | Case Hardened.

Who this wear suits

Battle-Scarred is a reasonable choice for this knife if:

• you want a butterfly knife with a multicolored blade, and clean metal is not essential;


• in Battle-Scarred the price runs higher than for neighboring finishes of the same knife, and that does not stop you;


• you are ready to choose among copies with a float from 0.45 to 1.00 by how they actually look.
