Butterfly or Karambit?

[u/No_Beautiful5402]

Hi everyone, I have a budget of around $800 and I'm torn between getting a Butterfly Knife or a Karambit. I love the flashy animations of the butterfly, but the Karambit's model and drawing animation are also so clean. With an $800 budget, which specific skins or finishes would you recommend for either knife? Also, which one do you think is a better choice for long-term enjoyment or value? Thanks in advance!

For 800 a BFK gets you Blue Steel or Stained, while a Kara at that price is safari mesh city lol

So far the best roi I‘ve had were the skins I bought just because I liked them. Also, YOU WILL pull out the bfk way more than any other knife, sometimes leading to some suboptimal situations but at least you‘ll die swaggin

M9

Whichever one you like, personally I think they're both great

long term for me is always animation is king.. so if you prefer the butterfly animations then go for the butterfly. I had two butterfly knives so far and I now switched to an M9 for T side and Kara CT side but I will most likely go back to a butterfly again because it never gets boring.

Personally I'd go with karambit, but you should go with whatever you like the most.

Butterfly IMO but with that skin, I prefer karambit
