★ Butterfly Knife | Blue Steel (Factory New)

The ★ Butterfly Knife | Blue Steel in Factory New (FN) is the narrowest and dearest cut of the finish: its band covers just 0.00 to 0.07. Covert rank, with the ★ mark, goes with a source in the Operation Breakout Weapon Case.

What the ★ Butterfly Knife | Blue Steel looks like in Factory New

Blued steel makes up the blade: blue-black metal that lightens to a cold blue glint on the edge and at the point. Slots run along the black handles, and white-blue metal shows through them. There is no drawing and no lettering, and Valve calls the finish cold bluing.

In Factory New the bluing is whole across the surface. The blade edge and handle ribs carry no pale marks, so the cold blue glint reads cleanly. The condition is set at the drop, and a Factory New knife will not wear down any further.

What to check before buying

Across ★ Butterfly Knife | Blue Steel listings, compare the following:

• float: it sits between 0.00 and 0.07, and the look barely changes inside that band;


• applied name: the knife takes a name tag, and it stays after purchase;


• wear in the title: the price drops by a factor of 1.5 already at Minimal Wear.

What the ★ Butterfly Knife | Blue Steel costs in Factory New

A band of 0.00 to 0.07 is tight enough that you can buy almost blind.

Getting the ★ Butterfly Knife | Blue Steel

The Operation Breakout Weapon Case drops this knife, and the wear it rolls is random. A contract is the other way in. Five Covert items of one type, with normal and StatTrak not mixed, return a random starred item from the collections of the inputs. Neither model nor finish can be set, so Factory New copies are bought as ready listings.

Is there a StatTrak version

The ★ Butterfly Knife | Blue Steel can also be had with the StatTrak™ function.

Who this wear suits

Factory New makes sense on this knife if:

• you want a butterfly knife with untouched bluing and not one scratch on the edge;


• the price of the top wear is explained for you by the narrow float band, only 0.07 of the finish's scale;


• your CS2 loadout is built on dark steel and the knife is its centerpiece.
