Ultimate Karambit Case Hardened Blue Gem Guide
Last updated: February 12, 2024
What is a Blue Gem on a Karambit Case Hardened?
Most Case Hardened skins typically feature a blend of blue and gold with just a small amount of purple. However, some patterns have large or even entirely blue playsides or backsides, which is the reason they are called blue gems.
Karambit Case Hardened #1 Pattern and it's Price
The Karambit Case Hardened 387 pattern is considered #1 and the most expensive because it features a unique, almost entirely blue playside, making it extremely rare.
This pattern is so rare that, according to the CSFloat Database, there are only 9 in existence.
Offers for the best-condition 387 pattern have surpassed $1.5 million, making it the most expensive skin in Counter-Strike 2 (CS2).

Karambit Case Hardened 661 Pattern Seed Misconception
Many players believe that the 661 pattern seed, which is the most expensive blue gem for the AK Case Hardened, holds the same value for the Karambit Case Hardened. However, this is not the case.
The pattern template is applied differently to each weapon, meaning the 661 pattern seed does not make the Karambit Case Hardened the most expensive variant, contrary to its effect on the AK Case Hardened.
