Butterfly Knife | Night

Origin Story

The Butterfly Knife | Night, released on July 1, 2014, as part of the Operation Breakout update, is an original knife finish that uses a solid dark color scheme. Its individual parts are spray-painted in dark navy and black hues, creating a "night ops" appearance. This classic knife is considered a collector's piece, appealing to those who prefer darker, low-key finishes and appreciate the nostalgia of older operations. It is valued for its legacy as an early Valve knife and its understated aesthetic.

Drop Chance

Butterfly Knife | Night is a knife-tier skin, so standard Valve rarity odds don't apply. Knives drop at a combined rate of approximately 0.26% from supported cases before accounting for which knife type and finish you get. Valve doesn't publish individual knife or phase probabilities.

Skin Condition

Float range 0.06 to 0.8. Exteriors: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Minimal Wear (No Recent Price): The dark navy blue paint retains almost full coverage, with only very small edge nicks appearing on the blade tip, spine, and handle edges, representing the cleanest visual available for this skin.
• Field-Tested ($857.23): Noticeable but moderate wear appears as small patches of underlying metal along the blade edge, tip, and some handle corners, making the finish look less uniformly dark.
• Well-Worn ($843.80): Heavy edge wear and more exposed metal are present along the cutting edge and spine, with larger scuffed zones on the handle and pivot area giving the knife a rugged, used look.
• Battle-Scarred ($675.56): Extensive wear leaves large sections of the blade and handle showing bare or lightly painted metal, resulting in a visibly patchy and overall lighter appearance.

Visual Theme

Solid Color: It has individual parts spray-painted solid colors in a night ops color scheme. The dominant colors are a deep navy blue and almost black, giving it a dark, understated aesthetic. In first-person view, the blade spine and upper flat are most visible, with the dark colors emphasizing the knife's silhouette. Night knives are frequently compared to other dark finishes like Blue Steel or Fade's darker phases, but they are noted as less glossy and more flat or matte than most metallic finishes.

Sticker Compatibility

Sticker compatibility is not applicable to knives, as they do not have sticker slots. Visual customization for the Butterfly Knife | Night comes solely from the skin itself and the player's chosen gloves. For a cohesive loadout, this knife is often paired with dark, stealthy gun skins and blue or black-themed stickers on rifles and pistols.
