Butterfly Knife (Lore) (Minimal Wear)

Covert StatTrak -4.4% · 9 d

A balisong already draws the eye with its split-handle flip, and the Lore finish adds dense Celtic-style knotwork running across the blade and handles. The interlaced gold linework is applied as a custom paint job, giving the knife an ornamental, almost ceremonial look while keeping the fast fan-open action intact.
