Skin description

★ Butterfly Knife | Lore is a flip-trick showpiece that wraps the iconic balisong in medieval luxury. Released in September 2021 with the Operation Riptide Case, it brought the celebrated Lore series to the Butterfly as an exceedingly rare special item. This knife has been finished in a Custom Paint Job style, with the Lore finish: a rich gold blade carries intricate Celtic-knot etching along the spine and belly, while the olive frames hold marbled amber inlays for a regal contrast. Polished pivots, latch hardware, and cutouts keep the silhouette light and snappy for inspection spins. In Factory New condition, the presentation is pristine—no edge wear on the belly, no micro-scuffs on the pivots or latch, and the engraved knots remain razor-sharp against the luminous gold. It’s part collectible, part performance art—pure royalty for Butterfly enjoyers.
