★ Falchion Knife | Case Hardened (Factory New)

The ★ Falchion Knife | Case Hardened (Factory New) is a Covert-rarity knife finish carrying a blue, gold, and steel patina from a color case-hardening process. Factory New is the cleanest of the finish's five grades, the one collectors want when hunting the strongest blue coverage on a given seed.

Design

Instead of a painted graphic, this blade is color case-hardened with wood charcoal at high heat, which leaves an irregular blue, gold, and steel patina across the playside. The line "A little color never hurt anyone" comes attached to the finish. Which of those colors dominates isn't random — the paint seed fixes it, and seeds that land mostly blue turn into the "blue gem" copies the market pays a serious premium for.

★ Falchion Knife | Case Hardened (Factory New) Float and Wear

Case Hardened covers the entire 0.00–1.00 float range, so all five grades exist for this finish, and Factory New sits at the clean, low-float end of that scale. The blue, gold, and steel zones read at their sharpest here, with none of the surface roughness that shows up on more worn copies. Factory New falls in the 0.00–0.07 float band.

Falchion Knife | Case Hardened Rarity

Rarity here is Covert ★, the gold-tier rare special ("knife") classification that sits outside the normal weapon rarity ladder. Pulling any knife from a case is a long shot to begin with, and this finish is no different.

Falchion Knife | Case Hardened Case and Collection

This is one of the original knife finishes, and it comes specifically from the Falchion Case rather than a wider spread of drops. The rare-special odds for pulling a knife out of that case land at roughly 0.26%.

Falchion Knife | Case Hardened Blue Gem Patterns

Case Hardened is a blue-gem finish through and through, and the paint seed is the whole story — it decides how much blue versus gold and steel covers the blade, and copies get sorted into tiers purely on that basis. Only about a dozen of the finish's 1,000 seeds actually qualify as blue gems at all, and pattern #494 tops that short list: a near-fully-blue playside with just a sliver of yellow, regarded as the Falchion's #1 benchmark seed. A small Tier-1 group trails it, followed by a long tail of more ordinary patterns. The seed is locked in for the life of the copy and never shifts with wear, so a strong blue gem outprices a plain gold-and-steel copy at any grade.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak version of this knife exists alongside the regular one, adding a permanent confirmed-kill counter that carries through every trade. There's no Souvenir edition, since knives are never included in Major-tournament souvenir packages regardless of which case produced them.

Falchion Knife | Case Hardened Price

Factory New sits at the top of this finish's own price ladder, ahead of the four lower grades, and Case Hardened as a whole already ranks upper-mid among this knife's finishes. It's a genuinely pricier pick within the lineup rather than an entry point, and a strong blue seed can push the price well past an ordinary one. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

What is the best Falchion Knife Case Hardened blue gem seed?

Pattern #494 is the legendary one — a near-fully-blue playside with only a sliver of yellow showing, treated as the market's #1 benchmark for this knife. A small Tier-1 group of seeds sits close behind it, then a long tail of lesser patterns; only about a dozen of the finish's 1,000 seeds qualify as blue gems at all. The seed is fixed per copy for good, so it never changes as the knife wears.

What case is the Falchion Knife Case Hardened in?

It drops from the Falchion Case, one of the original sources for this knife finish. The rare-special pull rate for landing any knife out of that case sits at roughly 0.26%, regardless of which finish comes up.

What are the best gloves for the Falchion Knife | Case Hardened?

Blue-toned gloves play up a heavy blue seed nicely, while gold or bronze-accented pairs pick up the warmer patches of the patina instead. Because the finish already mixes cool and warm colors on the blade, it pairs comfortably with either direction rather than demanding an exact match. For the best Falchion Knife Case Hardened glove combo, lean into whichever tone your specific seed shows more of.
