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

About ★ Butterfly Knife | Lore
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 custom painted with knotwork.— Official in-game description
★ Butterfly Knife | Lore is a Covert knife finish, on the market since 2021. It drops in StatTrak™ as well as the standard version.
