★ Butterfly Knife | Case Hardened (Factory New)

Factory New (FN) is the cleanest stretch of the scale for the ★ Butterfly Knife | Case Hardened. The float runs from 0.00 to 0.07, just seven hundredths out of 1.00. The knife is Covert, with the ★ mark, drops from the Operation Breakout Weapon Case and costs more than any other wear of the skin.

What the ★ Butterfly Knife | Case Hardened looks like in Factory New

Blue, golden, purple and brownish patches spread along the blade. The handle is black, with a gold-cream stripe in each half. On a butterfly knife, the two handle halves swing apart and the blade fans open.

At a float up to 0.07 the metal stays almost untouched, and the colored patches read in full, with no worn spots.

What to check before buying

What matters when you buy the ★ Butterfly Knife | Case Hardened:

• Float: in this wear it spans 0.00 to 0.07, and the closer to zero, the cleaner the blade.


• Listing picture: the order of the colored patches on the blade is read from the screenshot of the specific copy.


• Name tag: it can go on the knife, which has no stickers.


• StatTrak: this finish has a separate counter version.

What the ★ Butterfly Knife | Case Hardened costs in Factory New

Minimal Wear is cheaper than Factory New by 1.81 times, Field-Tested by 2.24, Well-Worn by 2.45 and Battle-Scarred by 2.28. The ladder is uneven: Well-Worn turns out to be the cheapest wear of the finish.

Gamma Doppler Phase 1, Phase 3 and Phase 4 stand above it, and Slaughter and Marble Fade below.

Getting the ★ Butterfly Knife | Case Hardened

There is one source: the Operation Breakout Weapon Case. The float of a copy is set when the case is opened.

You cannot order this knife through a CS2 contract. Five Covert skins of one type, normal or StatTrak, give a random rare special item, and the trade-up works the same way for this finish.

Is there a StatTrak version

The ★ Butterfly Knife | Case Hardened has a StatTrak version in the game.

Who this wear suits

Factory New makes sense for this knife when:

• you want a butterfly knife with a colorful blade and no noticeable scuffs;


• there is almost nothing to choose by float, so the listing picture matters more than the number;


• the price gap to Minimal Wear is worth the clean metal to you.
