★ Butterfly Knife | Blue Steel (Battle-Scarred)

Battle-Scarred (BS) is the widest wear of the ★ Butterfly Knife | Blue Steel: its band runs from 0.45 to 1.00, which is 55% of the whole float range. Covert rank, with the ★ mark, belongs to this dark blued butterfly knife from the Operation Breakout Weapon Case.

What the ★ Butterfly Knife | Blue Steel looks like in Battle-Scarred

The blade is the color of blued steel: dark blue-black metal with a cold bluish glint along the edge and at the point. The handles are black, and light blue-white metal comes through the slots between them. There is no drawing or lettering on the blade. This is plain bluing, which Valve describes as cold.

In Battle-Scarred the bluing is heavily rubbed. Scratches and chips read as pale lines on the dark metal, especially along the edges of the blade and the ribs of the handles. The wear is recorded when the knife drops and does not change afterward.

What to check before buying

In a ★ Butterfly Knife | Blue Steel listing, this is what matters:

• float: from 0.45 to 1.00 the same wear looks clearly different, and you can see it on inspection;


• applied name: the knife takes a name tag, and it remains on the item after purchase;


• wear in the listing title: Well-Worn costs the same as this one, while Factory New is noticeably more expensive.
