Question 1

What is a Karambit Blue Gem pattern?

Accepted Answer

A Karambit Blue Gem refers to a Case Hardened finish with an exceptionally high percentage of blue on the blade. The community ranks patterns into tiers based on blue coverage and placement. The most valuable patterns (#387, #442, #661) are Tier 1, with nearly full blue playsides. You can browse all tiers on CSBoard at /en/items/karambit-case-hardened-field-tested?tier=Tier-1.

How much is a Karambit Blue Gem worth?

Prices vary dramatically by pattern index, float, and tier. A Tier 1 Factory New #387 can exceed $150,000, while a Tier 2 Field-Tested pattern like #555 typically ranges $5,000–$10,000. CSBoard’s live listings reflect real-time market prices with zero fees.

Question 3

Question 5

What’s the difference between Tier 1 and Tier 2 Blue Gems?

Accepted Answer

Tier 1 patterns have 90–100% blue coverage and are extremely rare, commanding five- to six-figure prices. Tier 2 patterns (75–90% blue) are more common and trade 3–10× cheaper, making them accessible for most collectors while still offering strong appreciation.

Question 7

Which float is best for a Karambit Blue Gem?

Accepted Answer

Factory New (0.00–0.07) commands the highest premium, but Minimal Wear (0.07–0.15) is often the sweet spot for value. Field-Tested patterns still look great and are far more liquid. CSBoard lets you filter by float range on every item page.

Tier	Blue Coverage	Price Range (FT)	Liquidity	Annual Appreciation
Tier 1	90–100%	$15,000–$150,000+	Low (weeks–months)	20–30%
Tier 2	75–90%	$3,000–$15,000	High (days)	15–25%
Tier 3	50–75%	$800–$3,000	Very High (hours)	10–15%
