If you’d like to learn more about the elements that make a Skeleton Knife a legit Blue Gem, below you will find all the information you need.

Case Hardened Finish

The first step for a Skeleton Knife to be considered a Blue Gem is to have the Case Hardened finish, because it’s the only way by which this weapon can obtain its characteristic gem-like blue color. On its own, a Skeleton Knife with this finish can sell for a premium in comparison to other variations of this weapon, but the blue gem seed is going to bring it a lot more value.

High Percentage of Blue

If your Skeleton knife has the Case Hardened finish, now it’s time to check the percentage of blue present on the playside. Hence, if the skin has more than 60-70% of blue, we can catalog it as a blue gem.

However, it’s important to note that blue gem patterns are divided in 4 different tiers. The bluer it is, the higher in the ranking it will be, where Tier 1 seeds have the highest percentage of blue, and Tier 4 seeds the lowest. 

The percentage of blue present is directly correlated to the price of the skin. Hence, the bluer it is, the more valuable it will be, as we have already seen in the previous section. And if you’d like to get even more information about it, we invite you to check our section titled “Most Valuable Skeleton Knife Blue Gem Seeds”. We will bring you exclusive insights about the rarest and most expensive seeds.

Float Value

This is not mandatory for a Skeleton Knife to be considered a blue gem, as long as it has the Case Hardened finish and a high percentage of blue present on the playside, yet a low float value will make it rarer and hence more valuable. 

For example, you can have two Skeleton knives with the pattern #169, which is one of the most valuable on the market, yet the one with the lowest float value will cost more. Hence it’s an important factor to take into account when defining the real price of a Blue Gem Skeleton Knife.
