CSGO Cases Guide: Which Cases Contain The Butterfly Knife (Complete List)
The Butterfly Knife in CS:GO can be found in several weapon cases, with the most notable ones being the Operation Breakout Case and the Chroma Case series.
The Operation Breakout Case, released in July 2014, was the first case to introduce the Butterfly Knife. In this case, you can get the vanilla (default) Butterfly Knife along with basic finishes like Blue Steel, Case Hardened, Crimson Web, Fade, Forest DDPAT, Night, Slaughter, and Stained.
The Chroma Case series (Chroma, Chroma 2, and Chroma 3) expanded the Butterfly Knife collection by adding more vibrant finishes such as:
- Doppler - Tiger Tooth - Marble Fade - Damascus Steel - Ultraviolet - Rust Coat
More recent cases like the Gamma Case and Gamma 2 Case introduced additional finishes including:
- Gamma Doppler - Lore - Autotronic - Black Laminate - Bright Water - Freehand
It's important to note that the chance of unboxing a Butterfly Knife from any case is extremely rare, with odds typically being less than 1%. All Butterfly Knives are classified as Covert grade items and are among the most expensive skins in CS:GO.
If you're specifically looking to obtain a Butterfly Knife, purchasing one directly from the Steam Community Market or third-party marketplaces is often more cost-effective than trying to unbox one from cases.
The latest case releases have continued to introduce new Butterfly Knife finishes, keeping the skin fresh and desirable among players. All Butterfly Knives share the same unique animation sequence that makes them particularly popular within the CS:GO community.
Remember that each case has an equal chance of dropping any knife pattern available in that specific case series, and the condition (Factory New to Battle-Scarred) is determined randomly upon unboxing.
