Gut Knife Case Hardened: blue gem pattern guide
Yes, the Gut Knife. The community's punchline knife has a genuine grail: #567, the "God Pattern" - about 86% playside blue, worth around $3,000 in Minimal Wear. No Gut seed achieves a fully blue blade (gold clings to the handle and tip), which somehow makes the chase funnier.
HOW THE PATTERN WORKS
Case Hardened is one big mottled texture of blue, purple and gold patina; the pattern index (0-1000) rolled when the item drops picks which slice of it lands on the model. Blue occupies the smallest share of that texture, so a seed that lands heavy blue on the side you actually see - the playside - is the rare one. The blue never fades with wear: float adds scratches and darkens the golds, but a blue gem stays blue even Battle-Scarred.

WHAT COUNTS ON THIS ITEM
Ranked on playside blade blue. Even the God Pattern keeps gold at the hook and heel - a "perfect" Gut does not exist, only a best one.
