Butterfly Knife Case Hardened Patterns Explained
First, you need to know that Valve introduced Butterfly Knife | Case Hardened on July 1, 2014, as part of the Operation Breakout Weapon Case alongside the “Operation Breakout” update. That weapon is based on the Terry Guinn Gargoyle Scimitar Hybrid. Moreover, Butterfly is banned in many countries because of its feature of a freely pivoting blade that allows it to open out or hide.
Fortunately, each player can freely use that knife in CS2 and enjoy one of the best animations in the game. There are also other knives in Conter-Strike if you want to explore all of them. Here is the list of all CS2 knives.
Back to today’s topic, we need to notice one fact: Butterfly Knife | Case Hardened isn’t just one more skin for a knife but a sign of unique taste. The reason for this lies in a wide selection of patterns. Like the whole family of Case Hardened skins, Butterfly Knife also has Gold, Purple, and Blue patterns.
There are around a thousand patterns with personal numbers. Butterfly Blue Gem patterns are the rarest and most expensive items. There are one hundred and fifty-one Blue Gem patterns divided by four Tiers. Each Tier means the amount of blue coloration on the body and blade of the knife. The more blue on it, the higher the pattern.

Because of their rarity, Butterfly Blue Gem patterns from Tier 1 are the most coveted among CS2 players and collectors. Moreover, Tier 1 patterns also contain the highest amount of blue coloration on the Butterfly | Case Hardened. The lower the number of Tiers, the lower the blue and the price of the patterns.
Pattern 182
Blue Gem Butterfly Knife CS2 with seed #182 has the skin with the highest amount of blue coloration on the handle and blade. The price of that item could range from $10,000 to higher. Still, the main question is finding it on any sale, meaning it’s not easy.
Pattern 371
Our following pattern is Blue Gem Butterfly Knife CS2 with seed #371. This item is already Tier 2, meaning the skin has a lower amount of blue coloration against the previous pattern. At the same time, this Butterfly is still highly priced and coveted by many players and collectors.
Pattern 72
As you can see, the lower the Tier, the lower the amount of blue coloration on Blue Gem Butterfly Knife. Here, you can see the pattern #72, which is Tier 3.
Pattern 713
The last pattern is Blue Gem Butterfly Knife CS2 with seed #713. It’s already Tier 4, which means the skin on the handle and blade of the knife has a lower amount of blue coloration. Still, the Blue Gem of Tier 4 is also a nice addition to the collection of CS2 items. The price could be slightly higher than the typical Case Hardened Butterfly in Factory New wear condition.
Pattern difference
As you can already understand from the information above, the main difference between each pattern is the amount of blue coloration. Each Blue Gem Butterfly Knife, with its personal number, is unique. This is because of the case-hardening process, which creates unique patterns.
The number of blue on the handle and blade of each knife affects its price and rarity. That means the Butterfly Blue Gem patterns of Tier 1 have the highest price among other Case Hardened skins for that knife. For example, the Blue Gem Butterfly Knife price of the #182 pattern could be $10,000 and higher. The cost for the #424 pattern, which is Tier 3, is around $1400.
Also, the amount of blue coloration affects the rarity of patterns, meaning Tier 1 patterns are rigid to find. At the same time, you can easily buy the Blue Gem patterns, which are Tier 3 or Tier 4.
