★ Butterfly Knife | Black Laminate (Well-Worn)

The ★ Butterfly Knife | Black Laminate in Well-Worn (WW) takes a tight stretch of the scale, 0.38 to 0.45. That is 7% of the finish's range, right before Battle-Scarred. It is a Covert rank butterfly knife, with the ★ mark, and in CS2 it comes out of the Operation Riptide Case and the Dreams & Nightmares Case.

What the ★ Butterfly Knife | Black Laminate looks like in Well-Worn

The wear range for this knife runs from 0.38 to 0.45. The blade is dark gray and speckled, with a stonewash texture. The handles are black, with round holes and light laminate panels.

Wear is already visible along the blade edge and on the ridges of the handles, yet the light inserts stay easy to read. Since the whole wear fits inside 0.38 to 0.45, any two listings look the same.

Phase and pattern
