Steam Market vs Third-Party Prices
The Steam Community Market usually lists Butterfly Knife | Lorehigher than third-party marketplaces — but Steam sales keep the funds in your Steam wallet, while third-party sales can cash out. The spread below compares Steam's listing price with the cheapest third-party offer per wear.
| Wear | Steam Market | Cheapest Third-Party | Spread |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minimal Wear | $1433.52 | $898.81 (Skinport) | +59% |
| Field-Tested | $835.61 | $586.69 (CSFloat) | +42% |
| Well-Worn | $802.90 | $527.00 (CSFloat) | +52% |
| Battle-Scarred | $748.66 | $492.40 (Youpin (UU)) | +52% |
Steam takes roughly a 15% fee from the seller and balances can't be withdrawn, so a positive spread doesn't automatically mean arbitrage — it reflects the premium buyers pay for wallet-funded convenience.

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.
