The ★ StatTrak™ Butterfly Knife | Bright Water in Minimal Wear (MW) is a blue camouflage Butterfly Knife with a working kill counter. Covert rank, with the ★ mark.

The blade is covered in a large-scale camouflage: light blue patches, cobalt and near-black indigo. The handles are dark blue with a blue inlay in the middle. The big patches look crisp, and clean metal gleams between them.

Minimal Wear leaves only light marks. They are fixed at the drop and do not grow.

• name tag: a name on the knife is allowed, and there are no stickers.

Getting the ★ StatTrak™ Butterfly Knife | Bright Water

There are two cases: Operation Riptide and Dreams & Nightmares. In a craft, the StatTrak version comes from five Covert skins, provided all of them are StatTrak. Regular skins are not mixed in, and the model and finish are assigned at random.

StatTrak and Souvenir

The regular version of the finish is sold as a separate item and is cheaper than the StatTrak one. People go there when they do not need the counter. No Souvenir version exists for knives. The counter does not reset, and the StatTrak Swap Tool merely trades the values of two items of one type.
