Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Factory New and Minimal Wear for the ★ Butterfly Knife | Fade?

Factory New (FN) skins have float values between 0.00-0.07, showing minimal to no visible wear. Minimal Wear (MW) floats range from 0.07-0.15, with slight scratches or fading visible on close inspection. For the ★ Butterfly Knife | Fade, the price difference between FN and MW can range from 10% to over 100% depending on how visible the wear is on this particular finish. Some finishes hide wear better than others, making MW versions excellent value alternatives.

Why is the ★ Butterfly Knife | Fade so expensive?

The ★ Butterfly Knife | Fade commands premium prices due to several factors: First, knife skins are the rarest drop category in CS2, with approximately 0.26% chance from case openings. Supply is inherently limited while demand remains consistently high from collectors and players. The Fade finish is particularly sought-after for its distinctive appearance. Market prices reflect both scarcity and desirability within the CS2 trading community.

What is the float value range for the ★ Butterfly Knife | Fade?

Float values in CS2 determine a skin's wear level on a scale from 0.00 (perfect) to 1.00 (maximum wear). This is a restricted float skin that can only drop in Factory New or near-FN condition, making all examples relatively clean. Lower float values within any condition category (e.g., 0.01 vs 0.06 in Factory New) result in cleaner appearances and typically command higher prices. For high-value trades, always verify the exact float value using inspection tools.

Where is the cheapest place to buy the ★ Butterfly Knife | Fade?

Prices vary across marketplaces due to fees, regional pricing, and seller competition. The Steam Community Market is convenient but charges 15% fees. Third-party markets like Skinport, DMarket, and Buff163 often offer lower prices with fees ranging from 5-10%. For the ★ Butterfly Knife | Fade, we recommend comparing prices on this page's market comparison table above, which shows real-time listings from multiple verified marketplaces. Trading sites may offer even better deals if you have items to exchange.

Is the ★ Butterfly Knife | Fade a good investment?

Investment potential depends on several factors. Knives and gloves historically hold value well due to consistent demand and limited supply. Key considerations: (1) Check the 30-day and 90-day price trends shown in the charts above; (2) Consider whether this skin is from an active or discontinued case; (3) Evaluate overall CS2 market conditions. Past performance doesn't guarantee future returns, but ★ Butterfly Knife | Fade has maintained steady trading interest. Diversifying across multiple items typically reduces risk.

What is StatTrak on the ★ Butterfly Knife | Fade?

StatTrak is a special variant that includes a digital kill counter displayed on the weapon, tracking your confirmed kills in official matches. StatTrak versions of the ★ Butterfly Knife | Fade are rarer than standard versions (approximately 10% of case drops are StatTrak) and typically cost 1.5x to 3x more. The kill counter adds personalization value as it records your gameplay history with this specific weapon. Note that StatTrak counts reset if you trade the skin.

Can I use the ★ Butterfly Knife | Fade in competitive CS2?

Yes, all weapon skins including the ★ Butterfly Knife | Fade are purely cosmetic and can be used in all CS2 game modes including competitive matchmaking, Premier, and professional tournaments. Skins provide no gameplay advantages or disadvantages - they only change the weapon's visual appearance. Many professional players use skins during official matches, and you'll often see high-value items like this featured in tournament broadcasts.
