Pattern value — AK-47 | Case Hardened
Paint seed matters on this skinBlue 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.

Float values in CS2 determine a skin's wear level on a scale from 0.00 (perfect) to 1.00 (maximum wear). With a float range of 0.00 to 1.00, this skin has specific wear availability that affects pricing. Lower float values within any condition category (e.g., 0.01 vs 0.06 in Factory New) result in cleaner appearances and typically command higher prices. For high-value trades, always verify the exact float value using inspection tools.

This skin can be obtained by opening the CS:GO Weapon Case or purchased directly from third-party marketplaces.
