★ Butterfly Knife | Ultraviolet (Minimal Wear)

The ★ Butterfly Knife | Ultraviolet in Minimal Wear (MW) is a butterfly knife of Covert rank, with the ★ mark, in a dark finish with violet stripes. In CS2 it drops from the Spectrum Case and the Spectrum 2 Case. The finish starts at float 0.06, and this wear takes up 11% of its scale, which is 0.08 out of 0.74. The float here lies between 0.07 and 0.15.

What the ★ Butterfly Knife | Ultraviolet looks like in Minimal Wear

The blade is dark and smooth, with serrations at the heel. Violet inserts decorate the black handles: the saturated color runs down the center of each half and leaves black edges around it.

In Minimal Wear the wear is the second cleanest after Factory New. It is fixed at the drop, and the float only shows where on the stretch a given copy stands.

Phase and pattern

The pattern is identical on every copy of the ★ Butterfly Knife | Ultraviolet. The paint is solid, with no phases and no gems, so the search comes down to wear alone.

What to check before buying

When choosing a ★ Butterfly Knife | Ultraviolet listing, this matters:

• float: the 0.07 to 0.15 band is tight, and the difference between copies shows only in the number;


• name tag: allowed, though the knife has no sticker slots;


• regular or StatTrak: these are different listings.

Buying this butterfly here is a nearly blind pick, since the band is so narrow.

What the ★ Butterfly Knife | Ultraviolet costs in Minimal Wear

Factory New costs 2.65 times as much. The other wears are cheaper: Field-Tested by a factor of 1.36, Well-Worn by 1.39 and Battle-Scarred by 1.67.

Among Covert butterfly knives in Minimal Wear, the finish sits a little below the middle of a row of twenty-eight: eleven cost less and sixteen cost more. Above it are Lore, Blue Steel and Case Hardened, and below are Damascus Steel and Black Laminate. At the bottom of the row are Safari Mesh, Forest DDPAT and Boreal Forest, and the peak is Doppler Phase 4, Doppler Sapphire and Doppler Ruby.

Getting the ★ Butterfly Knife | Ultraviolet

The knife comes from two cases, the Spectrum Case and the Spectrum 2 Case. A craft yields the same class of item but guarantees neither model nor finish: five Covert skins of one type turn into a random rare special item.

Is there a StatTrak version

This butterfly also comes with StatTrak in the game.
