The Blue Steel uses a Patina finish technique (paint index #42). Inspired by the natural aging process of metals, the Patina finish imitates the look of a weapon that has been exposed to the elements over time. It features a weathered, tarnished appearance, often with shades of copper or bronze, giving the weapon an antique or vintage character. This skin currently uses the legacy CS:GO model.
This is a custom-designed balisong, commonly known as a butterfly knife. The defining characteristic of this weapon is the fan-like opening of a freely pivoting blade, allowing rapid deployment or concealment. As a result, butterfly knives are outlawed in many countries. It has been cold blued.
The Butterfly Knife is classified as a knife in CS2 . Base damage output is 34 . See all Butterfly Knife skins for additional options.
