Butterfly Knife | Fade

Fade

Butterfly Knife Factory New

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.

History

The Butterfly Knife was introduced with Operation Breakout in July 2014 as CS:GO's first post-launch knife type. The Fade finish on the Butterfly Knife is exclusively sourced from the Operation Breakout Weapon Case.

Origin

Airbrushed with transparent paints fading together over a chrome base coat — a conversation piece, Imogen notes. The warm-to-cool fade on the Butterfly Knife's distinctive balisong blade creates a spectacular visual during the flip animation.

Popularity

Among the most desirable Butterfly Knife finishes in the game; Fade on the Butterfly Knife combines CS2's most celebrated fade technique with the most popular knife animation, creating enduring top-tier demand.

Rarity

Covert knife — extraordinarily rare from cases. The Butterfly Knife itself is one of the most sought-after knife types. StatTrak versions are available.

Availability

Available exclusively from the Operation Breakout Weapon Case. Max float 0.08 — Factory New only. The fade percentage (amount of yellow versus pink/purple) creates value variance between copies.

Versions

Float range 0–0.08. Factory New only. Fade percentage creates value variance. StatTrak available.

Finish Style

Airbrushed — transparent fading paints over a chrome base coat.

Community Sentiment

A pinnacle Butterfly Knife finish and one of the most coveted items in CS2; the Fade technique combined with the Butterfly Knife's flip animation creates a weapon display that has no equal in the knife market. FN StatTrak high-fade copies are generational collector items.
