Pattern value — Stiletto Knife | 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.
