Pattern value — Paracord Knife | Case Hardened

Paint seed matters on this skin

Blue coverage on the playside. A fixed blue/gold/purple texture sheet is stamped at a seed-determined offset, and each weapon has its own UV map — so a seed that is a gem on a Karambit is unremarkable on an M9. Backside blue adds a little; playside is what is priced.

Typical premium: Top seeds trade at 10-100x a standard copy; the very best have reached six figures.

Frequently Asked Questions

Factory New (FN) ★ Paracord Knife | Case Hardened skins have float values between 0.00-0.07, showing minimal to no visible wear. Minimal Wear (MW) floats range from 0.07-0.15, with slight scratches or fading. The price gap between FN and MW varies by finish — some designs like the Case Hardened pattern hide wear better than others, making MW versions a strong value alternative.

The ★ Paracord Knife | Case Hardened sits in the mid-to-high price bracket. It features a distinctive Case Hardened design that stands out in-game and maintains good trading liquidity. It's part of The Shattered Web Collection, obtainable from the Fracture Case, which adds to its collectible appeal. For players who main the Paracord Knife, this skin offers an excellent balance of visual appeal and investment stability compared to budget alternatives.

Field-Tested covers float values from 0.15 to 0.37 on the CS2 wear scale. Within that band a lower float looks cleaner in game and usually sells for more, so two Field-Tested copies of the same skin can be priced well apart. Every listing's float is shown in the marketplace table above.

Right now the Field-Tested is quoted at about $136.19 and the Minimal Wear at about $155.22, so the Minimal Wear costs 14% more. How much of that gap is worth paying depends on the finish: wear shows first on edges and raised areas, so on some designs the cleaner wear is hard to tell apart in game. Switch wears above to compare the two side by side.
