Butterfly Knife | Scorched

Origin Story

The Butterfly Knife | Scorched debuted on July 1, 2014, as part of the original lineup of butterfly knife finishes released with the Operation Breakout update. Its design features a spray-painted, sun-dappled pattern in muted black, dark brown, and gray tones, giving it a patchy, burned appearance. The in-game description notes its spray-painted, sun-dappled pattern. This knife is often chosen by players who prioritize the distinct butterfly animation over flashy finishes, seeking a low-profile option.

Drop Chance

Butterfly Knife | Scorched 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: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Factory New (No Recent Price): The dark, mottled spray pattern is fully intact and uniform, with strong contrast against the underlying metal.
• Minimal Wear ($786.37): The overall look remains very close to Factory New, with only minor smoothing on the blade's fine edges and handle corners.
• Field-Tested ($700.12): More edge wear appears on the blade's leading edge and handle ridges, with some lighter patches showing when inspected closely.
• Well-Worn ($760.00): Wear becomes noticeably heavier along most edges, exposing more of the underlying metal on the blade tip, spine, and handle front.
• Battle-Scarred ($750.00): A large portion of the edges and some flat surfaces show exposed metal, leaving only remnants of the dark spray pattern, often concentrated in recesses.

Model

Scorched uses the legacy Butterfly Knife model, introduced with Operation Breakout on July 1, 2014. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.
