★ Butterfly Knife | Lore (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

A Well-Worn ★ Butterfly Knife | Lore has a visibly aged blade: bare steel shows through the gold near the edge and tip, and the knotwork survives mostly along the spine. The handles keep their olive and amber tones with worn corners. The overall look is closer to an old heirloom than a polished piece.

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

Custom Paint Job: hand-painted across the whole body; this is the type where wear shows most, the artwork rubs down to metal.

Appearance in Well-Worn

The blade is finished in gold with a band of Celtic knotwork etched along the spine and down towards the tip, while the gold deepens to a darker tone near the cutting edge. The tang and the small latch hook are also gold, linking the blade to the handles.

Large parts of the edge and the tip are bare steel, and the knotwork is patchy outside the spine area. Handle edges, hole rims and the latch show clear scuffing, and the amber inlays look duller at the corners. The gold remains mostly on the upper part of the blade. In game the wear is obvious during inspect animations.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since a low float in a grade means a cleaner edge and tip.
• Inspect the cutting edge and the tip first, as the gold wears off there before anywhere else.
• Look at how much of the knotwork survives along the spine on worn copies.
• Check the name tag if one is applied, because it changes how the item is listed.

Who should buy Well-Worn
