Question 1

What is the Butterfly Knife Lore?

Accepted Answer

The Butterfly Knife Lore is a Covert rarity skin from the Operation Breakout case, first released in 2014. It features a hand-painted Celtic knotwork design in gold over a dark green blade, inspired by mythological storytelling. The finish is a fixed pattern, meaning every Lore knife looks identical except for the amount of wear (float).

Question 2

How much is a Butterfly Knife Lore worth?

Accepted Answer

Prices depend on wear condition. Factory New typically sells for $2,500–$3,500, Minimal Wear $1,800–$2,500, Field-Tested $1,200–$1,800, Well-Worn $900–$1,200, and Battle-Scarred $700–$900. StatTrak versions add 30–50% to these values. Check live prices on CSBoard at /en/items/butterfly-knife-lore.

Question 3

Where can I buy a Butterfly Knife Lore with zero fees?

Accepted Answer

CSBoard lists Butterfly Knife Lore from multiple wear conditions with zero trading fees and instant USDT payouts. Because it's a peer-to-peer marketplace, you buy directly from other players with no middleman cuts. Browse listings at /en/items/butterfly-knife-lore.

Question 4

What case has the Butterfly Knife Lore?

Accepted Answer

The Butterfly Knife Lore is unboxed from the Operation Breakout Weapon Case, which also contains the other original Butterfly Knife finishes (Case Hardened, Slaughter, Crimson Web, etc.). The case is now rare and requires a case key to open.

Question 5

Does the Butterfly Knife Lore have pattern variations?

Accepted Answer

No. Unlike Case Hardened or Doppler, the Lore finish is a static spray-paint pattern. The only variable is float (wear), which affects how much of the gold design remains visible. A lower float number means a less worn, more pristine blade.

Question 6

Is the Butterfly Knife Lore a good investment?

Accepted Answer

Historically, yes. Lore skins have appreciated roughly 25% year-over-year since CS2 launched, driven by the Butterfly Knife's popularity and the finish's iconic status. The smaller supply of Factory New and Minimal Wear specimens makes them particularly resilient to market dips.

Question 7

How do I check the float of a Butterfly Knife Lore?

Accepted Answer

In CS2, open the inspect screen on any Butterfly Knife Lore and look at the wear percentage displayed in the bottom-right corner. This number is the float value (0.00–0.65 for Lore). Alternatively, you can use third-party sites like CSFloat or CSMoney, but the in-game method is faster and free.
