Frequently Asked Questions

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

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 | Lore, 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 | Lore so expensive?

The ★ Butterfly Knife | Lore 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 Lore 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 | Lore?

Float values in CS2 determine a skin's wear level on a scale from 0.00 (perfect) to 1.00 (maximum wear). This skin can drop in all five wear conditions, from pristine Factory New to heavily worn Battle-Scarred. 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 | Lore?

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 | Lore, 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 | Lore 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 | Lore has maintained steady trading interest. Diversifying across multiple items typically reduces risk.

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

Yes, all weapon skins including the ★ Butterfly Knife | Lore 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.
