★ Butterfly Knife | Case Hardened (Field-Tested)

In Field-Tested (FT), the ★ Butterfly Knife | Case Hardened covers float 0.15 to 0.38, nearly a quarter of the skin's scale. It is a Covert knife with the ★ mark, and it drops from the Operation Breakout Weapon Case.

What the ★ Butterfly Knife | Case Hardened looks like in Field-Tested

Blue, golden, purple and brownish patches shimmer across the blade. The handle is black, with a gold-cream inlay in each half. A butterfly knife fans open, so the patches on the blade show at once.

Field-Tested means visible signs of use, and the higher the float inside the band, the more of them there are. The number is set when the knife drops and does not change afterward.

What to check before buying

Four things change from one listing of the ★ Butterfly Knife | Case Hardened to the next:

• Float: the wear band for this finish in this wear runs from 0.15 to 0.38.


• Listing picture: the patches sit differently on every copy, and only the screenshot shows how.


• Name tag: allowed. The knife has no sticker slots.


• StatTrak: the counter version exists and is sold as a separate item.

What the ★ Butterfly Knife | Case Hardened costs in Field-Tested

Factory New costs 2.24 times as much as Field-Tested, and Minimal Wear 1.24 times as much. Well-Worn is cheaper by a factor of 1.10, and Battle-Scarred sits level.

Among Covert butterfly finishes in this wear, the finish stands closer to the top of a row of 18: 14 are cheaper and three are dearer. Crimson Web and Damascus Steel are a little cheaper, Autotronic and Blue Steel a little dearer. Slaughter, at the top, costs about 1.7 times as much. The most affordable finishes, Forest DDPAT, Scorched and Boreal Forest, are cheaper by about 1.65 times.

Getting the ★ Butterfly Knife | Case Hardened

The knife drops from the Operation Breakout Weapon Case, and the float is set at the moment of opening.

The detour is a trade-up: five Covert skins of one type are exchanged for a rare special item. In CS2 the contract does not pick the model and finish. It draws them from the collections of the skins put in.

Is there a StatTrak version

Yes. The ★ Butterfly Knife | Case Hardened also comes with the StatTrak counter in the game.

Who this wear suits

Field-Tested is the right pick for this knife if at least one of these applies:

• You want a butterfly knife with a colorful blade, and clean metal matters less.


• The band from 0.15 to 0.38 is wide, and you are ready to compare several listings by number and by screenshot.


• Battle-Scarred costs the same as this wear, and you prefer a float below 0.38.
