Butterfly Knife | Scorched

The ★ Butterfly Knife | Scorched is a CS2 knife skin with a subdued, spray-painted finish on a folding balisong. The finish has a subdued, mottled pattern across the blade and handles. Its understated palette suits players who prefer irregular camouflage-like markings over detailed artwork. All exterior grades are available, alongside regular and StatTrak™ versions.

Description

The ★ Butterfly Knife | Scorched brings a muted Spray-Paint finish to the Butterfly Knife in CS2. The weapon is a custom balisong whose blade pivots freely between its handle halves. Its opening motion spreads the handles around the blade in a fan-like movement. Scorched gives that distinctive shape an uneven mix of dark and pale patches rather than a uniform color. The neutral palette suits loadouts built around gray, black or beige tones. A visible silver cutting edge adds contrast without changing the finish's restrained character. Documented owners include professional players Kjaerbye and degster, although ownership alone does not establish broader market demand. Buyers can compare the exact float value, exterior and StatTrak option when choosing a copy for play or trade.

History and Origin

Valve released the skin in CS:GO on July 1, 2014, as part of the Operation Breakout update. Its original container was the Operation Breakout Weapon Case, which remains its case-opening acquisition route. Valve created the finish rather than a community designer. The accompanying flavor text connects the Phoenix with rebirth through a statement attributed to Valeria Jenner, Revolutionary. Valve retired the rare drop pool on December 17, 2025. The Operation Breakout Weapon Case no longer drops, so that route does not replenish its case supply. Existing cases can still be bought on the market and opened for a chance at the knife. Current ownership is also accessible through direct marketplace purchases and trades, separate from its original release.

Finish Style

Scorched uses a Spray-Paint finish with irregular markings that suggest patches of sunlight and shade. The blade combines charcoal gray, black and muted beige rather than a single dominant flat color. Soft-edged dark areas cross its surface, giving the pattern a mottled appearance. A bright silver edge follows the curved cutting side and separates it visually from the painted blade face. The curved handle halves are mostly dark gray, with lighter gray and beige patches extending along their lengths. Circular holes interrupt the painted handles and expose the structure of the knife. Pivot screws and long recessed panels add mechanical detail beneath the subdued color treatment. The overall look relies on uneven patches and visible hardware, not lettering or elaborate illustrated artwork.

Float Value

The float value ranges from 0.06 to 0.80, defining the available condition range for this finish. Its exteriors are Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred, with none of those grades missing. Regular and StatTrak versions are available, while no Souvenir version exists; the version choice is separate from cosmetic condition.

Rarity and Popularity

The ★ Butterfly Knife | Scorched has the Covert rarity grade, regardless of its exterior condition or StatTrak status. Its stated chance from the Operation Breakout Weapon Case is 0.02%, making a case opening an uncertain acquisition route. Professional ownership by Kjaerbye and degster provides documented visibility, while existing cases, marketplace listings and player trades remain acquisition routes.

Why it’s Popular:

• Subdued charcoal, black and beige color palette

• Distinctive folding balisong shape and opening motion

• Silver cutting edge contrasts with the mottled blade

• All exteriors available with optional StatTrak tracking

Price Range

The live ★ Butterfly Knife | Scorched price range is $379.54 to $1,520.44. These bounds cover the whole skin, not a permanently assigned exterior or version. Exterior and exact float are useful comparison points across Factory New through Battle-Scarred listings. Regular and StatTrak copies should be checked separately rather than assumed to have a fixed price relationship. This knife represents a substantial purchase, so a useful CS2 skin price comparison focuses on the specific copy before a buyer commits.

How to Obtain

1. Buy Directly through Eneba Skins

One of the fastest and most straightforward options is to purchase skins directly through Eneba Skins. You can browse available CS2 skins, compare prices, and choose the items that best fit your budget.

2. Open the Operation Breakout Weapon Case

Opening the Operation Breakout Weapon Case offers a chance to obtain this knife, with stated odds of 0.02%. The case no longer drops, but existing cases can still be purchased and opened. This route produces a random outcome rather than securing a particular exterior or version.

3. Buy on the Steam Community Market

The Steam Community Market provides a direct purchase route for the skin. Buyers should check the listed exterior and whether the copy is regular or StatTrak before choosing it. Purchasing a specific listing avoids the random outcome associated with opening the Operation Breakout Weapon Case.

4. Trade with Other Players

Player-to-player trading is another way to acquire the Scorched finish on a Butterfly Knife. A proposed exchange should be checked against the item's exterior, exact float value and StatTrak status. Trading offers a specific copy rather than a chance at one from a case.

Trading and Investment Considerations

Retirement limits new case supply, but unopened stock can still produce additional Scorched knives. Ownership by Kjaerbye and degster provides evidence of professional interest, not proof of broad demand or fast resale. For a buy, sell or trade decision, compare exterior, exact float and StatTrak status instead of treating every listing as interchangeable.

Reasons it Holds Value

• No new Operation Breakout Weapon Case drops

• Documented ownership by professional players

• Distinctive Butterfly Knife design

• Regular and StatTrak collecting options

The editorial investment rating is medium-to-good, supported by retired case supply and documented professional ownership. Its substantial purchase price makes careful listing comparisons important rather than justifying an automatic buy. The main risk is that existing cases can still add knives to circulation, while ownership evidence does not establish resale speed or future returns.
