Kukri Knife Case Hardened Patterns Explained

Before trying to hunt down the kukri knife case hardened best pattern, it’s best to understand what case hardened patterns are. In fact, it’s good to understand CS2 Knife Types in general. 

A Kukri Knife case-hardened pattern is a randomized mix of blue, gold, and purple hues covering the knife’s blade. Each pattern is determined by a seed number (0-999), making each one different. The most popular and highly-sought after patterns are called blue gems. Even within the blue gems, there are patterns considered better than others. 

Before counting down the holy grails, let’s take a closer look at the available patterns.

Patterns

As we’ve mentioned, there are 1000 seeds that determine a pattern. Each pattern is typically broken down into tiers. There are 4 tiers. The lower the tier number, the better the pattern. Meaning, the most coveted patterns are in tier 1, while the least coveted patterns are in tier 4. 

Here’s the list of tiers and patterns:

• Tier 1: 494, 770, 575, 652, 618, 917, 844, 112, 891, 838, 868, 510, 330, 631, 985, 808
• Tier 2: 130, 283, 335, 721, 468, 798, 702, 841, 664, 371, 182, 38, 881, 638, 811, 643, 682, 61
• Tier 3: 629, 989, 488, 334, 823, 426, 282, 73, 694, 547, 916, 858, 749, 854, 630, 499, 375, 256, 442, 961, 116, 919, 306, 902, 853, 522, 776, 411, 92, 809, 262, 612, 885, 505, 398, 528, 194, 576, 248, 711, 883, 768, 708, 34, 414, 347, 657, 14, 713, 74, 698, 453, 273, 89, 188, 457, 98, 907, 616, 800, 42, 263, 243, 244, 175, 318, 305, 134, 281, 697, 545, 478
• Tier 4: 803, 782, 788, 497, 269, 322, 964, 965, 176, 321, 236, 108, 515, 658, 56, 905, 470, 310, 556, 214, 860, 20, 27, 622, 445, 976, 134, 72, 927, 875, 4, 387, 852, 429, 828, 177, 341, 753, 557, 147, 458, 507, 311, 849, 816, 953, 633, 153, 955, 109, 866, 191, 899, 541, 888, 609, 846, 924, 935, 106, 598, 55, 509, 914, 25, 775, 637, 670, 358, 958, 741, 942, 57, 381, 138, 245, 642, 397, 820, 801, 513, 208, 542, 780, 563, 596, 179, 339, 320, 377, 11, 395, 101, 655, 717, 700, 254, 53, 672, 29, 168, 928, 254, 365, 727, 85, 826, 297, 918, 463, 483, 527, 416, 893, 548

As you can see, the tiers with better patterns have fewer patterns. Making the best patterns even harder to get a hold of. And, as a general rule of thumb, the more blue the blade has, the better the pattern. So, what are the best patterns? Here are what are widely considered the 4 best kukri blue gem patterns.

#494

Pattern 494 is generally accepted as the “Holy Grail” of kukri blue gem patterns. Here are a few of its stats:

Percentage of blue on the blade: 93%

Unique identifying marks: The frontside of the knife is mostly shades of blue. However, the backside consists of a mix of blues, golds, and purples.

Price: For a factory new, expect to pay around $18,000.

Overall thoughts: There isn’t really much to say here. Pattern 494 is the “Holy Grail.” If you can get your hands on one—lucky you.

#770

Pattern 770 isn’t the “Holy Grail” of kukri knife blue gems. However, it’s as close as you can get. Here are a few of its stats:

Percentage of blue on the blade: 91%

Unique identifying marks: The only visible gold on the frontside is near the handle. However, the backside doesn’t use blue as graciously. Yellow, gold, and purples account for about 50% of the blade. 

Price: For a factory new, expect to pay around $15,000.

Overall thoughts: Even though the backside is likely closer to a tier 3 blade, the frontside sets it almost in a class of its own. Is it worth the price? That’s for the buyer to decide.

#575

Pattern 575 comes in 3rd on the list of best blue gem kukri. This is what you get:

Percentage of blue on the blade: 86%

Unique identifying marks: The frontside of the blade is almost identical to the 770. However, there’s a stark difference on the backside. There isn’t a single hint of blue along the sharpened part of the blade. And the only blue visible, about 30%, is near the blunt side of the blade.

Price: $7,000 for Minimal-Wear and Field-Tested

Overall thoughts: The sheer lack of blue on the backside is the reason for the drastic drop in price from the 494 and 770 patterns. However, like both of those blades, the frontside alone may be worth the price for a select few. It’s still one of the kukri knife case hardened best patterns.

#652

Pattern 652 contains only 2% less overall blue than the 575. 

Percentage of blue on the blade: 84%

Unique identifying marks: Unlike the previous 3 patterns, the gold on the frontside of the blade is present only on the tip. The backside actually has more blue present than the 575 pattern. Again, the gold mostly occupies the first 50% of the blade starting at the tip.

Price: For a factory new, expect to pay around $4,000.

Overall thoughts: Though still expensive, you’ll get a factory new cheaper than a Minimal-Wear and Field-Tested version of the 575. And with the yellow and golds covering the tip, we think it’s a much better value.

Pattern difference

The difference in patterns is what sets the most expensive blue gem kukri apart from the least expensive patterns. Always keep in mind, the higher percentage of the blade that is covered in blue, the higher the price. Sure, it may vary a bit. However, it’s a pretty good general rule to follow. 

The lower the price, the more likely there will be more yellow, gold, and purple colors on the blade. There are times which a buyer is willing to pay more for a pattern that has less blue. Which is understandable as how cool something appears is a very subjective thing. Whichever pattern you like, there’s still the question—how do you get your hands on one?

How to Get Kukri Knife Case Hardened?

The Kukri Knife Case Hardened is available in a few different ways. You can:

• Open a case: they are available on sites like Hellcase.com in the Gallery Case or Kilowatt Case. 
• Buy from a 3rd-party site: always make sure you do your research and find a reputable site.

Keep in mind, getting your hands on a blue gem seed isn’t easy. That is unless you have the money to pay for one. 

How much does a Kukri Knife Case Hardened cost?

The cost of a case hardened kukri knife greatly depends on the specific knife. The “Holy Grail” can set you back around $18,000. However, if you arne’t after a kukri blue gem, you can pick one up for a couple hundred bucks. If you don’t have that kind of cash to throw around, your best bet is to head over to Hellcase and start opening cases.

Unlocking the Kukri Knife Case Hardened: Float and Wear Values

Like any skin in CS2, the float and wear values greatly affect the popularity and price. In most cases, players try to get their hands on a factory new version. However, from time to time, the factory new version isn’t the most valuable version. 

In the case of the Kukri Knife Case Hardened, it’s best to try to get a knife that is factory new and has the lowest possible float. If you aren’t in it for the investment, buy a knife with whichever seed, float, and wear you think looks the coolest. Just keep in mind, if you get one from a case, you don’t really have a choice.

Odds of Getting a Blue Gem Pattern Kukri Knife 

To be honest, the odds aren’t good. The chances of getting a knife is around 0.26% or around 1 in 385 cases. On top of that, the chance of getting a kukri knife blue gem comes in at around 1 in 100,000 cases. But, someone has to get them! It could be you. And, if it is, you’ve basically hit the lottery in terms of luck and value.

Future Market Value of Kukri Knife Case Hardened

The future market value really depends on a couple of things:

• The pattern, float, and wear: This literally can be the difference between a couple of hundred bucks and a cheap new car. The super-rare patterns will always retain value.
• The community: if the CS2 community gravitates to one pattern over the other, that pattern will likely rise in price.
• Pro players: from time to time, a pro player will do something amazing using a certain skin. That could be the case with any given pattern. And if you have the same one in your inventory, it could rise in price. However, it’s a long shot. But, it could happen.
