Falchion Knife | Case Hardened Blue Gem Pattern Guide

The Falchion Knife has always held a unique spot in CS2’s knife lineup. With its distinct curved blade and a very different animation, the Falchion already stands apart from more traditional silhouettes like the Karambit or Bayonet. But when painted in the Case Hardened finish from top to bottom, it transforms into a collector’s curiosity.

The Case Hardened skin itself is a veteran of Counter-Strike’s skin economy, known for its unpredictable patterns and its potential to roll into the Blue Gem. In case of Falchion knives, that are rare breeds with no handle, the Blue Gems are garner a lot of attention. The Falchion’s larger blade face makes it an especially intriguing canvas for Case Hardened patterns.

When the blue lands just right, which is the case with the best Pattern #494, the result can be jaw-dropping. The Pattern #494 boasts a 93% blue on the playside, and a backside covered with 90%. While the blue doesn't extend to the handle, it remains one of the knives with the highest concentration of blue. As for price, the #1 pattern in Well-Worn condition was sold in September 2023 for $4900.

The price drops heavily as we go down to tier-2, with a Minimal-Wear variant of Pattern #330 recording a sale of $7696 back in 2024. Tier-3 further drops down to the $400 range. Let’s now break down exactly which pattern seeds are worth holding onto, and which might just land you a hefty overpay.
