TOP-10 Best Butterfly Knife in CS2 2024

If you're looking for skins for more than just the Butterfly Knife, check out this article: Best CS2 Knife Skins.

Scorched

Release Date: July 1, 2014

Price: From $886.27

Quality: Covert

Case: Operation Breakout Weapon Case

A simple camouflage skin design in urban shades looks unremarkable against the rest of the skins. However, this choice is popular primarily because of its price.  Gray-black colors will go with almost anything, so this is a good choice if you have a limited budget.

We also have an article for those whose budget is limited: The Best Cheap Knives in CS2.

Autotronic

Damascus Steel

Release Date: March 16, 2017

Price: From $1387.86

Quality: Covert

Case: Spectrum 2 Case, Spectrum Case

The Damascus Steel Butterfly knife's blade features an intricate wavy pattern reminiscent of the traditional forging technique used to create real Damascus steel.

Slaughter

Release Date: July 1, 2014

Price: From $1797.81

Quality: Covert

Case: Operation Breakout Weapon Case

Does it seem too plain to you? Well, no. The Slaughter skin is one of the desirable ones, according to player reviews. It pairs perfectly with many gloves. In addition, this dark red pattern resembles nothing but blood on the metal surface of the knife. 

Black Laminate

Release Date: September 22, 2021

Price: From $1207.50

Quality: Covert

Case: Dreams & Nightmares Case, Operation Riptide Case

The Black Laminate Butterfly Knife features a dark, wood-like pattern on the handle and a matte black blade—true style and aesthetics. 

Doppler

Release Date: March 16, 2017

Price: From $2680.07

Quality: Covert

Case: Spectrum 2 Case, Spectrum Case

The skin has different phases where the colors gradually change, so you have many choices. And there's nothing to lurk about; this skin is something absolutely everyone wants, but not everyone has that kind of budget for it.

This skin has separate categories where one of the colors dominates the entire blade: 'Sapphire' (blue), 'Ruby' (red), and 'Black Pearl' (black). And if these are the ones you're aiming for, well, you'll have to shell out a not-so-small sum for such splendor. In these colors, the Doppler skin will cost even more. 

Marble Fade

Release Date: March 16, 2017

Price: From $2174.51

Quality: Covert

Case: Spectrum 2 Case, Spectrum Case

Perhaps the most colorful knife skin in our selection and one of the brightest if you consider all skins for Butterfly Knife. The mesmerizing design makes it impossible to take your eyes off it.
