Pattern value — Butterfly Knife | Slaughter
Paint seed matters on this skinShapes formed by the red blotches on the playside. Seeds that read as a recognisable figure — a heart, a web-like cluster, a face — are collected; the trait is pareidolic rather than measurable, so pricing is thinner and more subjective than on Case Hardened.
Typical premium: Named shapes add roughly 2-5x; the effect is smaller and less liquid than blue gems.

Float values in CS2 determine a skin's wear level on a scale from 0.00 (perfect) to 1.00 (maximum wear). With a float range of 0.01 to 0.26, this skin has specific wear availability that affects pricing. Lower float values within any condition category (e.g., 0.01 vs 0.06 in Factory New) result in cleaner appearances and typically command higher prices. For high-value trades, always verify the exact float value using inspection tools.
