Pattern value — Bowie Knife | Slaughter
Paint seed matters on this skinShapes formed by the red blotches on the playside. Seeds that read as a recognisable figure — a heart, a web-like cluster, a face — are collected; the trait is pareidolic rather than measurable, so pricing is thinner and more subjective than on Case Hardened.
Typical premium: Named shapes add roughly 2-5x; the effect is smaller and less liquid than blue gems.

Frequently Asked Questions
