★ Butterfly Knife | Black Laminate (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

Well-Worn copies show bare metal on the handle edges and around the cutouts, giving the black frame a used, two-tone look. The grey laminate inlays and the overall silhouette still make the skin easy to identify. It suits buyers who like a knife that looks carried rather than kept in a drawer.

Item type: knife. Covert is the top weapon rarity: usually the most prominent items of a collection or case.

Gunsmith: several techniques combined on one item; some parts rub off, others only dull.

How the skin looks in Well-Worn

The blade has a stonewashed finish: mottled grey steel with darker clouding and a brighter polished edge, topped by a black spine and black serrations near the pivot. Both handles are black with round cutouts along their length, and the open slots show inlays of layered laminate in grey, white and near-black stripes.

Bare metal shows clearly along the handle edges and around most cutouts, and the spine has larger worn areas. The laminate inlays are visibly scuffed but keep their striped pattern. The blade looks grimier and less even. During inspect the wear is noticeable, while the general colour scheme holds.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since a low float in Field-Tested or Minimal Wear keeps the handle edges noticeably cleaner.
• Look at the handle edges and the rims of the cutouts in the inspect view, as this is where the black coating goes first.
• Check the laminate inlays for scuffs on more worn copies, because they carry the skin's main contrast.
• Note whether the copy is StatTrak™ and whether it has a name tag.

• Buyers who want the Butterfly Knife animations with a reasonable spend.
• A good fit if a worn look is a plus for you.
