★ Butterfly Knife | Fade (Factory New) — 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 painted by airbrushing transparent paints that fade together over a chrome base coat.\n\nThis isn't just a weapon, it's a conversation piece - Imogen, Arms Dealer In Training

Right now it goes for $2 205 to $3 290 across 6 marketplaces — a 49.3% spread. Liquidity is moderate: 5 sales a day — selling at market price takes days, not hours.
We track 2 wear levels of this skin. The cheapest is MW at $2 159, the priciest is FN at $2 205 — a 1.0x difference for the very same artwork, the wear is all that changes. Over the past 30 days the price stayed between $2 118 and $2 351, and it is now 4% lower than a month ago. The all-time high is $5 148, the low is $1 851. Float for this skin runs from 0.0 to 0.08 (the range of the whole skin, not of a single wear): the lower the number, the cleaner the finish, and copies at the edge of the range are valued separately.
This skin does not exist in every wear: you can find Factory New, Minimal Wear, while Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred never existed — its float never rises above 0.08, so even the most beaten copy stays Minimal Wear. For Fade what matters is the fade percentage: the paint seed fixes it exactly, and copies close to a full fade cost noticeably more than ordinary ones under the same name and the same wear.
★ Butterfly Knife | Fade (Factory New) is listed on 5 marketplaces. The most you keep is on marketcsgo: $2 449 minus a 5.0% fee leaves $2 327 net. The least you keep is on skinport: $2 205 minus a 8.0% fee leaves $2 028. The $299 gap comes from both different listing prices and different fees; a large gap usually means the listings differ in wear or condition, so check the item itself before selling.
Fees are the marketplaces' standard seller rates; Steam's 15% is charged on the seller's amount, so the net is the price divided by 1.15. Volume discounts, promo codes and regional specifics are not included, and Steam proceeds stay in the Steam wallet.
A rate marked with a tilde (~) is our own estimate, not a published figure: it is derived by comparing the marketplace's own buy and sell prices. The real cut varies from item to item and is usually worse on cheap listings.
