★ Butterfly Knife | Freehand (Factory New)

The ★ Butterfly Knife | Freehand in Factory New (FN) has a float from 0.00 to 0.07, which is 15% of the finish's short scale of 0.00 to 0.48. Covert rank, with the ★ mark. Both the Operation Riptide Case and the Dreams & Nightmares Case drop this butterfly knife for CS2. In this wear the finish is almost the cheapest among Covert butterfly knives.

What the ★ Butterfly Knife | Freehand looks like in Factory New

The blade carries a busy hand-drawn design: white and gray marks, little figures and strokes, like scrawls over a purple base. The handles are black, with purple stripes running along their flat sides, and the metal around the pivots is light. The drawing is small and dense, so there is almost no empty space on the blade.

The finish's scale is cut off at 0.48, so Factory New takes a fifteenth of the whole scale. In this wear the knife falls within 0.00 to 0.07. That narrow stretch is all the scale gives this wear, so copies look alike. Wear is set at the drop.

Where the ★ Butterfly Knife | Freehand came from

On September 22, 2021, Valve announced Operation Riptide together with its case.

What to check before buying

What to compare when choosing a ★ Butterfly Knife | Freehand:

• Float: the narrow band of 0.00 to 0.07 leaves little room to compare lots.


• Name tag: the knife accepts a name, and it has no sticker slots.


• Neighboring wear: Minimal Wear costs about the same, with a gap under three percent, so the two lots are easy to mix up.

Getting the ★ Butterfly Knife | Freehand
