A premium covert butterfly knife that sits at the high end of the market and trades with selective demand. Supply is anchored to its case origin and StatTrak copies run a separate line; sellers should pick their moment when short-term momentum firms up.

This is a premium-grade offering among knives, not a budget flip for churn. Buyers here are selective and deep-pocketed; as a seller you can expect patient bids rather than fast, small trades, so list with intent and set a reserve that respects the tier.
The wear ladder spans the full float gamut and the payout curve is broad rather than collapsing into a single peak; Factory New does not carry a distinct extra premium. Expect a continuous spread across wears where different bands attract different buyer types rather than one dominant clean-end price.
Middle-to-clean wears tend to deliver the best skin-for-money balance because the visual payoff from the Patina finish and the gray palette reads well before the very shallow top end. If you want the most buyer interest per dollar, aim to sell copies in that middle-clean band where appearance and price meet.
Lower-wear copies sit close together in payout, so worn examples trade in a tight band and wear differences there move little money. That makes holding a worn copy low-friction; you can relist quickly without having to micro-price by tiny float shifts.
Floats run the entire span, so choosing which copy to keep matters: a single good float change can reposition the listing into a different buyer bracket. When sourcing or staging sells, inspect float closely because the market values specific float positions across that full spread.
StatTrak exists and behaves like its own market slice, with dedicated buyers who track the counter. Those copies convert differently than non-StatTrak knives, so treat them as separate inventory when pricing and during negotiations.
Within StatTrak, dirtier copies can sometimes command more than cleaner ones because the counter and certain wear looks combine oddly with the Patina treatment. Watch offers on mid-dirty ST copies; they can jump ahead of cleaner STs when collectors prefer the look or a specific float niche.
The only origin here is the Operation Breakout Weapon Case, which keeps supply tied to that container's distribution. That provenance limits fresh inflows and is a steady structural factor for long-term availability.
A gray-led palette with a Patina finish gives the blade a subdued, utilitarian tone that plays well on most maps and lighting, and Valve's designer imprint keeps it familiar to collectors. The finish emphasizes texture over flash, so it reads as understated in-hand and on-screen.
The all-time band for this knife has been massive, meaning past listings have spanned from tight interest to very wide swings. Right now the position sits within that broad band rather than clustered at an extreme.
Short-term momentum has moved up softly after a longer period of downside pressure, so bids are firmer than they were during the prolonged slide. That soft uptick matters if you plan to list now versus waiting.
On a higher-value knife like this, timing the cashout matters: a little patience can capture the next lift from renewed interest, but holding too long risks reverting to the broader downtrend. Stage listings and be ready to act when buy-side momentum shows conviction.
