CSDB value is an estimate from recorded sales and cleaned marketplace asks, shown as a range. "Best price" is the lowest listing that survived outlier checks. Where a wear has only a few asks and no recorded sales, CSDB shows the ask and declines to value it. Method

- Float premium within a wear:not published yet. Measuring it needs completed sales with their exact floats, and CSDB does not hold enough of those for this skin to separate a float premium from ordinary price noise. Load the individual listings above to see how each item's float sits within its wear.
Lowest Floats on the Market
Case Hardened Pattern Analysis
Case Hardened is pattern-dependent: the paint seed (0–999) changes how much of the play side renders blue rather than gold or purple, and where that blue sits. Seeds with near-total blue coverage are the "blue gems".
That makes two Butterfly Knifes of the same wear and float different items with different prices. The value CSDB publishes for each wear is the base value — what a typical pattern sells for. A premium for a sought-after seed belongs to that individual item and is shown against the base value in the individual listings, never folded into it.
CSDB does not publish Case Hardened pattern tiers or a fixed premium: we do not yet hold enough completed sales by paint seed to derive one, and a tier list without sales behind it would be opinion presented as data.

About ★ Butterfly Knife | Case Hardened
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 color case-hardened through the application of wood charcoal at high temperatures. A little color never hurt anyone— Official in-game description
★ Butterfly Knife | Case Hardened is a Covert knife finish, on the market since 2014. It drops in StatTrak™ as well as the standard version.
As a Case Hardened finish, no two look quite alike: the paint seed changes how much of the play side renders blue rather than gold or purple, and where that blue sits.
