Butterfly Knife | Tiger Tooth

Origin Story

The Butterfly Knife | Tiger Tooth, released on March 16, 2017, with the "Take a trip to the Canals" update, is a Gamma-series knife finish. Its blade is anodized in a bright orange and hand-etched with a distinctive black tiger stripe pattern. This finish is a premium, classic choice, often described as clean and bright, making it a popular long-term play skin. Paired with the Butterfly Knife's unique animations and high base price, the Tiger Tooth variant is considered a high-status item.

Drop Chance

Butterfly Knife | Tiger Tooth 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 to 0.08. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear. StatTrak is available in FN, MW.

• Factory New (No Recent Price): The blade appears bright, saturated orange-yellow with a strong metallic sheen and fully intact black tiger stripes; edges show little to no visible wear. This is considered the premium, showcase tier for collectors and high-budget buyers.
• Minimal Wear (No Recent Price): The overall appearance remains very close to Factory New, retaining vibrant orange anodization and clear tiger stripes, though light wear may appear as small darkened or slightly faded spots on high-contact edges. This tier is often treated as the value option, offering minimal cosmetic difference from FN for a lower price.

Model

Tiger Tooth uses the legacy Butterfly Knife model, introduced with Take a trip to the Canals on March 16, 2017. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.

Sticker Compatibility

Knives cannot have stickers applied directly to them in CS2. However, for coordinating a loadout, the bright orange/gold and black colors of the Butterfly Knife | Tiger Tooth pair well with yellow/gold-themed stickers or neutral black and white stickers on other weapons.
