About ★ Butterfly Knife | Lore
The ★ Butterfly Knife | Lore in Field-Tested is the practical-purchase tier of one of the most thematically rich Butterfly Knife configurations in CS2. From the Operation Broken Fang Collection (December 2020), Lore's gold-engraved scrollwork on the Butterfly's flippable blade remains visually identifiable at FT, with the central engravings holding while only the finest scroll-line edges soften.
Why FT works on Lore
The Butterfly's flipping animation is a real visual asset for Lore — the engravings are the design focus, and the flip sequence catches the gold detail dynamically even on a slightly worn blade. FT preserves about 75-80% of MW's visual impact at significant savings. For owners who want Lore in active use rather than vaulted, FT is the consensus practical condition.
Broken Fang context
Operation Broken Fang Collection has been retired from active drops for years. Butterfly Knife drop rates were already lottery-tier; Lore FT listings remain thin and asks have appreciated steadily. Long-term hold characteristics.
