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

Recent Sales — What It Actually Sells For
Listed prices are asks; these are completed sales on Skinport over the last 7 and 30 days. The gap between the two is the real negotiating room.

- 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
Fade Pattern Analysis
Fade is pattern-dependent: the paint seed (0–999) changes how far the colour gradient runs along the blade — quoted as a fade percentage — and how much of the final colour reaches the tip.
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 Fade 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 | Fade
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. This isn't just a weapon, it's a conversation piece - Imogen, Arms Dealer In Training— Official in-game description
★ Butterfly Knife | Fade is a Covert knife finish, on the market since 2014. It drops in StatTrak™ as well as the standard version.
As a Fade finish, no two look quite alike: the paint seed changes how far the colour gradient runs along the blade — quoted as a fade percentage — and how much of the final colour reaches the tip.
