What moves a Karambit blue gem

SteamDashboard research · verified Jul 3, 2026

Playside first. The blade shows one side when equipped, so canon ranks seeds by playside blue. #269 is the exception collectors chase for both-sides coverage: strong blue on the backside too.

The base skin is liquid, the seeds are not. The base Karambit (Case Hardened) trades about 627 times a day across 27 markets, from $604.69 (BS) to $1,637.08 (FN). Canon-seed copies surface rarely and price case-by-case above those floors; use inspect links and seed filters to verify before paying a premium.

How many blue gem seeds does the Karambit have?

Community canon ranks 41 of the 1000 seeds: 10 in Tier 1 (387, 442, 269, 321, 73, 955, 853, 902, 507, 776) and 31 in Tier 2.

What makes #387 special?

The most famous knife pattern in the game: a near-fully-blue playside, and the only Factory New copy in existence. A roughly $1.5M offer was declined in September 2021 ("Not interested, 1.2 is low").

Do Tier 2 seeds carry a premium?

Usually, but a smaller and less stable one. Tier 2 premiums are negotiated case-by-case; the tier note and sources above are the canon reference, not a price guarantee.

Can I filter marketplaces by seed?

Several tracked markets filter listings by paint seed, and every famous-seed row here carries an inspect link so you can verify the pattern in game before buying.
