★ Butterfly Knife | Blue Steel (Field-Tested)

★ Butterfly Knife | Blue Steel in Field-Tested (FT): a blued butterfly knife in blue-black tones. Covert rank, with the ★ mark. In CS2 it drops from the Operation Breakout Weapon Case. All five wears of this finish exist on a 0.00 to 1.00 scale, and Field-Tested takes the stretch from 0.15 to 0.38, which is 23%.

What the ★ Butterfly Knife | Blue Steel looks like in Field-Tested

Valve says the steel is blued here by the cold method, and the finish echoes it: the blade is blue-black, with a pale bluish sheen running along the edge. The handles are black. Each has a dark inset down the middle, lit along its rim in pale blue.

Wear takes the tip of the blade and the ends of the handles first. In this wear the knife covers the 0.15 to 0.38 band, where you find nearly clean copies and distinctly scuffed ones alike.

What to check before buying

Before taking this butterfly knife, look at these items:

• float: this wear spans 0.15 to 0.38, and the numbers are worth comparing before you pay;


• applied name: a name tag goes onto a blued butterfly knife just as it does onto any other.

What the ★ Butterfly Knife | Blue Steel costs in Field-Tested

Getting the ★ Butterfly Knife | Blue Steel
