★ Butterfly Knife | Lore (Factory New)

The ★ Butterfly Knife | Lore (Factory New) is a Covert ★ knife finish carrying a custom knotwork design painted across the blade. Factory New is the cleanest grade it comes in, showing that knotwork at its sharpest and most detailed.

Design

The finish skips a solid color scheme in favor of an intricate knotwork pattern, hand-painted directly onto the steel rather than printed or wrapped. It's one of the visually busier butterfly knife finishes, with the interlocking linework carrying the entire design on its own.

★ Butterfly Knife | Lore (Factory New) Float and Wear

Lore runs the full 0.00–1.00 float range, so it ages the same way most standard finishes do, from crisp to heavily worn. At Factory New the blade sits right at the bottom of that range, keeping every strand of the knotwork sharp and easy to trace. In float terms, this grade runs 0.00–0.07.

Butterfly Knife | Lore Rarity

Rarity: Covert ★, the gold-tier rare special ("knife") slot rather than an ordinary Covert weapon skin. Pulling one from a case is the rare event here, independent of whichever wear grade it ends up on.

Butterfly Knife | Lore Case and Collection

This finish isn't part of a single collection; it currently drops from two cases, the Operation Riptide Case and the Dreams & Nightmares Case. The rare-special ("knife") tier as a whole lands at roughly 0.26% per case opening, so most buyers grab a copy on the market instead of farming that rate.

Butterfly Knife | Lore Patterns

There's no paint seed to chase on this finish — the knotwork design is fixed, so every copy carries the same artwork in the same place regardless of the pattern index rolled. Wear and float are the only things that separate one copy of the Lore from another; there's no "best pattern" or rare seed hiding in the numbers.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ version of this knife exists and permanently tracks confirmed kills through every trade or sale. There's no Souvenir version — knives are never handed out in Major-tournament souvenir packages, whichever case they come from.

Butterfly Knife | Lore Price

Factory New tops the Lore's own price ladder, ahead of every more worn grade, and the finish overall ranks among the priciest for this knife. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

What case is the Butterfly Knife Lore in?

It currently drops from two cases, the Operation Riptide Case and the Dreams & Nightmares Case, rather than one specific box. The rare-special ("knife") tier across both lands at roughly 0.26% per case opening, which is why most buyers pick up a copy on the market instead.

Does the Butterfly Knife Lore have StatTrak?

Yes, a StatTrak™ version exists and permanently tracks confirmed kills through every trade or sale. There's no Souvenir version, though — knives are never included in Major-tournament souvenir packages, regardless of case or finish.

What are the best gloves for the Butterfly Knife | Lore?

Since the knotwork sits over a neutral steel tone rather than a bold color, dark leather or black gloves keep the loadout grounded and let the linework stand out. A pair with subtle stitching detail complements the pattern without competing with it. For the best Butterfly Knife Lore glove combo, keep the rest of the loadout muted and let the blade do the talking.
