Case contents have their own pages on the SkinsMonkey WIKI. These articles answer the questions around them: where a knife comes from, which cases cost the most, and what the odds mean before you buy a key.

FAQ

What are the odds of getting a knife from a case?

About 0.26% per case for a knife or gloves, according to the odds Valve published. The case odds guide lists the chances for every rarity.

Which cases contain the Butterfly Knife?

Several. The Butterfly Knife guide lists every one of them, with the case prices from our trade bot.

Is opening cases worth it?

On average, no: a case and key cost more than the average value of what drops. If you want a specific skin, buying or trading for it directly is cheaper.
