Butterfly Knife | Black Laminate
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 stonewashed and given a black laminate handle.

Description
The Butterfly Knife | Black Laminate is a Counter-Strike weapon skin built on the classic CS:GO (legacy) model system. It’s known for its clean, high-contrast look that complements the Butterfly Knife’s iconic silhouette. As a result, it quickly became a favorite among players who want a stealthy, dark aesthetic rather than vivid or highly patterned designs.
Classified as Covert rarity, this skin is part of the game’s most sought-after tier. While exact drop rates are not publicly disclosed, Covert items are generally rare compared to lower-tier skins, making the Butterfly Knife | Black Laminate a desirable find for collectors and competitive players alike.
The skin is available across all standard wear levels: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred (float 0.0–1.0). StatTrak™ is also available, allowing the knife to track kills as you play. A Souvenir version is not available, and there are no confirmed appearances in specific collections.
Visually, the Black Laminate finish uses a dark, layered laminate look that emphasizes the knife’s edges and geometry. With Paint index: 1110, the patterning remains consistent in its overall design language—favoring a darker, streamlined appearance that tends to age differently depending on wear condition. In higher wear ranges, the surface can show more signs of use, while Factory New versions typically maintain the sharpest contrast.
To obtain this skin, players typically look to case openings. The Butterfly Knife | Black Laminate can be found in the Dreams & Nightmares Case and the Operation Riptide Case. Since it is a rare knife skin, it remains most commonly acquired through these container sources rather than casual trading alone.
In the CS community, this knife is widely appreciated for balancing a premium silhouette with a restrained colorway. Many players prefer it because it looks “serious” and modern with minimal visual clutter, making it easy to match with a wide range of gloves and weapon skins—while still carrying the prestige of a Covert-tier Butterfly Knife.
