Mirror-like chrome on the right hand with deep red left palm; prized for M9 Bayonet combo screenshots.

Pattern #661
The 'Big Red' pattern; exceptionally clean fingers and a solid red backhand that shows well in agent animations.
$5,900 - 4

Crimson Kimono Tier Breakdown by Value and Red Coverage
| Tier | Red Coverage | FT Price Range | Liquidity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | 85-100% dominant red | $4,500 - $8,000+ | Medium-high |
| Tier 2 | 65-84% red, some chrome gaps | $2,200 - $4,200 | High |
| Tier 3 | 40-64% mixed red/chrome | $1,100 - $2,100 | Very high |
Avoid patterns where the right hand shows a large chrome band breaking the red flow — those consistently trade at 30-40% below Tier 3 averages and are considered 'bait patterns' by experienced Crimson Kimono pattern guide traders.
Crimson kimono gloves best pattern rankings aren't fixed. Since CS2's lighting overhaul in mid-2025, patterns with asymmetrical red distribution have gained popularity because the new shading engine emphasizes contrast between the chrome and crimson surfaces.
