In fact, the more blue the blade contains, the rarer and more valuable the classic case hardened blue gem is.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from a handful of blue gems, every blade contains a mix of blue, gold, yellow, and purple colors. Each pattern is determined by a seed number from 0-999. Let&#8217;s take a close look at the different classic knife patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Patterns\"><\/span>Patterns<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As there are 1000 patterns, and obtaining a blue gem is rare in itself, you\u2019re very unlikely to receive 2 similar knives. The patterns are typically thought of in 4 tiers, with tier one containing the more rare and valuable patterns, and tier 4 containing the less rare and valuable patterns.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s the list of tiers and patterns:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Tier 1:<\/strong> 403, 449, 585,\u00a0 681, 169, 456, 601, 316, 577, 634, 281<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tier 2:<\/strong> 704, 922, 55, 583, 288, 668, 107, 166, 606, 651, 910, 946<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tier 3:<\/strong> 837, 915, 880, 556, 628, 345, 850, 202, 583, 288, 668, 239, 447, 372, 67, 170, 336, 417, 349, 632, 496, 533, 107, 529, 887, 262, 503, 393, 162, 430, 269, 954, 383, 166, 797, 867, 180, 374, 157, 588, 537, 116, 916, 624, 715, 103, 187<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tier 4:<\/strong> 959, 523, 176, 812, 669, 88, 507, 525, 286, 429, 700, 179, 698, 442, 899, 222, 91, 818, 941, 613, 866, 675, 606, 108, 325, 750, 610, 828, 955, 519, 294, 516, 235, 794, 821, 227, 619, 151, 693, 710, 299, 600, 807, 387, 59, 869, 95, 719, 292, 400, 805, 203, 689, 995, 665, 14, 973, 298, 526, 547, 462, 84, 504, 551, 124, 859, 878, 646, 138, 806, 564, 680, 315, 872, 3, 528, 902, 790, 820, 546, 969, 740, 651, 212, 910<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As you climb the tiers, you\u2019ll notice that there are fewer and fewer patterns within each tier.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a quick look at the top-3 Classic Knife Case Hardened Blue Gem patterns:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"403\"><\/span>#403<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/hellcase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1.-Pattern-403.jpg\" alt=\"Classic Case Hardened Blue Gem Pattern #403\" class=\"wp-image-20351\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hellcase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1.-Pattern-403.jpg 940w, https:\/\/hellcase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1.-Pattern-403-300x80.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hellcase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1.-Pattern-403-768x204.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Pattern 403 is the best classic case hardened blue gem as it has an unbelievable amount of blue on the front side of the blade. There is only a small trace of gold near the handle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Percentage of blue on the blade:<\/strong> 98%<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Unique identifying marks: <\/strong>Looking at the blade is almost like looking at a blade sculpted from glacier ice. It almost appears as if the small amount of gold on the blade is actually the rarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Price:<\/strong> In 2022, a minimal-wear version sold for $20,000.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Overall thoughts: <\/strong>One can only imagine what a factory-new blade would cost today. We can only think about a sharpened icicle placed on a handle when we look at this beauty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"585\"><\/span>#585<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/hellcase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2.-Pattern-585.jpg\" alt=\"Classic Case Hardened Blue Gem Pattern #585\" class=\"wp-image-20353\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hellcase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2.-Pattern-585.jpg 940w, https:\/\/hellcase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2.-Pattern-585-300x80.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hellcase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2.-Pattern-585-768x204.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Pattern 585 is a mix between pattern 403 and pattern 449. Meaning, the gold and yellow aren\u2019t concentrated near the handle. There\u2019s a small amount of gold near the middle of the handle. However, it has a bit more blue than 449 yet it\u2019s not as vivid as 403.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Percentage of blue on the blade:<\/strong> 96%<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Unique identifying marks:<\/strong> The gold spot mid-handle helps you distinguish this blade between 403 and 449\u2014both of those classic knife patterns show a concentration of gold and yellow at the base of the blade right above the handle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Price: <\/strong>$15,000 on the upper end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Overall thoughts:<\/strong> At this price point, players buy the 585 because they simply can\u2019t get their hands on the 403. But who can blame them? The 585 pattern is almost as legit as it gets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"449\"><\/span>#449&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/hellcase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/3.-Pattern-449.jpg\" alt=\"Classic Case Hardened Blue Gem Pattern #449\" class=\"wp-image-20355\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hellcase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/3.-Pattern-449.jpg 940w, https:\/\/hellcase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/3.-Pattern-449-300x80.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hellcase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/3.-Pattern-449-768x204.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Pattern 449 looks similar to pattern 403. This skin has almost as much blue. However, it\u2019s not as vivid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Percentage of blue on the blade:<\/strong> 94%&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Unique identifying marks:&nbsp; T<\/strong>here\u2019s a bit more yellow and gold near the handle. You\u2019ll also notice a bit more purple spread throughout the pattern. It\u2019s like pattern 403\u2014but not 403.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Price:<\/strong> Recent sales have reached as high as $5,000.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Overall thoughts: <\/strong>Though pattern 449 isn\u2019t as vivid as pattern 403, it\u2019s a very nice skin to own. In fact, it\u2019s the second-best blue gem out there. If you have it, hold on to it. Unless you need the cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pattern_difference\"><\/span>Pattern difference<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/hellcase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/4.-Pattern-diff.jpg\" alt=\"Classic Case Hardened Blue Gem Pattern Difference between 403. 585 and 449 patterns\" class=\"wp-image-20357\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hellcase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/4.-Pattern-diff.jpg 940w, https:\/\/hellcase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/4.-Pattern-diff-300x80.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hellcase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/4.-Pattern-diff-768x204.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The difference in value is the difference in patterns. Period. The more blue a blade contains, the more rare and valuable it is. If you can get your hands on a tier 1 or 2 Classic Knife blue gem, you\u2019re doing well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it\u2019s still about taste. We prefer pattern 681 over everything except 403. In our opinion, pattern 681 is amazing as it looks as if the warmth of the holder&#8217;s hand melted the ice near the handle. The rest of the blade is blue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Get_Classic_Knife_Case_Hardened\"><\/span>How to Get Classic Knife Case Hardened?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a tier 1 blue gem, you only have 2 options\u2014a third-party site or a CS20 case. If you are looking for tier 2 or lower, you can try the Steam Marketplace. Tier 1 blue gems can\u2019t be found there as Steam limits the price to under $2,000. Simply put, tier 1 blue gems are worth much more than that. How much? A lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_does_a_Classic_Knife_Case_Hardened_cost\"><\/span>How much does a Classic Knife Case Hardened cost?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The value of a classic case hardened knife really depends on the pattern. If you\u2019re considering buying a tier 1 blue gem, expect to pay anywhere from $4,000 up to $20,000.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want a tier 2, 3, or 4, you can expect to pay much less. On the lower side, a tier 4 blue gem can cost as little as a few hundred dollars. That\u2019s still not cheap. However, it\u2019s far from $20,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unlocking_the_Classic_Knife_Case_Hardened_Float_and_Wear_Values\"><\/span>Unlocking the Classic Knife Case Hardened: Float and Wear Values<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like most skins, knives, weapons, or gloves, the value lies in the wear and float. These words basically mean \u201chow new it looks.\u201d The newer something looks ultimately means the more valuable it is. This isn\u2019t always true. However, it generally is. You\u2019ll want to keep in mind that a decent knife needs good <a href=\"https:\/\/hellcase.com\/blog\/skinopedia\/best-cs2-knife-glove-combos\/\">knife glove combos<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll need to remember that the newer a skin looks, the more vivid the design appears. And that normally translates to a higher cost. And most of the time, a higher cost is tied to rarity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Odds_of_Getting_a_Blue_Gem_Classic_Knife\"><\/span>Odds of Getting a Blue Gem Classic Knife&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We don\u2019t want to discourage you from trying to get classic blue gem patterns. However, getting a tier 1 blue gem is like hitting the lottery. The best of the best come with odds around 1 and 5,000,000. Yes, you read that correctly\u2014that\u2019s 5 million. There\u2019s one important thing to keep in mind, someone\u2019s got to get them.
