Like other Case Hardened skins, Navaja Knife offers a variety of Blue Gem patterns. Valve creates every Case Hardened skin using the case-hardening process, which makes each one unique and features a different number of gold and blue. Blue Gem is a pattern characterized by the highest amount of blue on the blade and handle. Blue Gem Navaja Knife patterns are rare. They comprise approximately 15.4% of all Case Hardened patterns for that blade, which is the reason for their scarcity and value.
