About ★ Butterfly Knife | Lore
The ★ Butterfly Knife | Lore in Minimal Wear is the practical-purchase variant 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 remains visually striking at MW, with only the finest scroll lines softening compared to FN.
MW vs FN tradeoff
FN Lore carries an extreme premium driven by Broken Fang retirement plus low-float scarcity. MW preserves about 90% of the visual fidelity at meaningful savings — the central engravings remain crisp, only the finest edge details soften. For owners who actually use the Butterfly rather than vault it, MW is the consensus 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 MW listings are thin and asks have been climbing year-over-year. Long-term hold characteristics.
