With a 0 to 0.08 float range, 2 conditions exist for this skin: Factory New and Minimal Wear. Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred never exists for it, so any listing claiming otherwise is a different skin.

This is a custom-designed balisong, commonly known as a butterfly knife. The defining characteristic of this weapon is the fan-like opening of a freely pivoting blade, allowing rapid deployment or concealment. As a result, butterfly knives are outlawed in many countries. It has been painted by airbrushing transparent paints that fade together over a chrome base coat. This isn't just a weapon, it's a conversation piece - Imogen, Arms Dealer In Training

Lowest active listing per marketplace, as the price a buyer pays. Steam quotes what the seller receives, so its column has Steam's fee added back on, which is why cheap items look so much dearer there. A dash means nothing is listed in that condition at the moment. Trade holds and item float are not reflected here, so check the listing before you buy.

What the wear names and tags mean
- Factory New (FN)
- Float between 0.00 and 0.07. Paint is untouched, and this is where the price premium sits.
- Minimal Wear (MW)
- Float between 0.07 and 0.15. Light scuffing on edges, usually the sweet spot between looks and cost.
- StatTrakβ’
- Counts your confirmed kills with that weapon. The counter resets if the item is traded through certain tools, and the version is a separate item on the market.
- Float
- A number from 0 to 1 describing how worn the paint is. Lower is cleaner. Two items in the same condition can look different, and collectors pay extra for the extremes.
