The Butterfly Knife Blue Gem with the Case Hardened Finish has become one of the most popular knives in CS2 (CS:GO), because it’s extremely beautiful with its blue hues, making it a rare piece of art, especially if we talk about the top tier patterns such as the #182, #652 and #398.

In this article, we will share with you a full list of the Butterfly Case Hardened Blue Gem patterns, so you can learn more about all the different Butterfly Knife Blue Gems you can get.

We will also define what a Blue Gem Butterfly Knife is in case you’re new to the topic, and also bring you unique insights about one of the most popular skins nowadays and how you can obtain it.

What is a Blue Gem Butterfly Knife?

It is a Butterfly Knife weapon with the Case Hardened finish and a pattern that contains a significant percentage of blue present on the metal surface of the knife. Unlike the vast majority of Case Hardened patterns for this weapon, the ones with the Blue Gem label have a predominant presence of blue, while the other colors, gray, dull gold and purple, only cover a smaller percentage of the surface.

Therefore, it’s fair to note that not all Butterfly Knife Case Hardened are Blue Gems, as only a select percentage belong to this category, which can sell for a steep premium in comparison to the market value for a standard Butterfly Case Hardened.

The Blue Gem patterns for the Butterfly Knife Case Hardened are divided in four different tiers: Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3 and Tier 4. The ones with the highest percentage of blue are the Tier 1 patterns, and the tiers go down, so does the presence of this color on the blade.

The Tier 1 patterns make the most expensive Blue Gem Butterfly Knives, as they can easily sell for over $10,000 USD if not more. They are also very scarce, hence they’re hard to find even on the most popular marketplaces and trading sites.

As the percentage of blue present goes down, so does the price as well. Therefore, a Tier 4 pattern will make the Butterfly Case Hardened sell for a small premium or pretty close to the real market value of this skin without the Blue Gem pattern.

How to Obtain a Blue Gem Butterfly Knife

There are two ways by which you can get a Butterfly Knife Blue Gem, and they are by opening specific CS:GO cases, or by buying yours directly from a skins trading site. Below, we provide more details about each option, so you can make the best decision.

Option #1: Opening CS:GO Cases

If you are lucky, you can get a Blue Gem Butterfly Knife by opening the Breakout Case, which is the only one that contains a  Butterfly Knife | Case Hardened as a Rare Drop.

However, before you go ahead and start buying and opening Breakout Cases, you need to take into account that your chances of dropping a Blue Gem Butterfly Knife are very slim, and you might end up spending a lot more money than if you just bought it directly. Because you only stand a chance of 1 in 391 to land a Rare Drop, which is way below 1%.

Here you have all the information about the Breakout Case to see its price, ROI and how much you’d have to spend in theory to win a Butterfly Case Hardened Blue Gem:

As you can see, even if you manage to land a Rare Drop to get a Butterfly Knife Blue Gem, the cost will be way too high in comparison to simply buying it from another user at a trading site.

It’s also important to consider its ROI, which is amongst the lowest from all the available CS2 cases, exposing you to too much risk, as you might only get back $41.31 USD for every $100 USD you spend.

Even if you drop this knife with a blue gem pattern, chances are it will be a Tier 3 pattern such as the #378, which sells for $1,200 to $1,400 on most trading sites. If you spent $3,910, that would leave you with a loss of -$2,710 to -$2,510 USD.

You can happen to win a Tier 1 pattern and sell it for over $10,000 – but the chances are very slim, and it’s more likely you’ll end up just losing money.

Therefore, unless you get very lucky and drop this skin after just a few opens, you’re better off buying it from a reputable CS:GO (CS2) trading site.

Option #2: Buying It from a CS:GO Trading Site

Our advice is to purchase it from well-established skin trading platforms like SkinPort, GamerPay, DMarket, ShadowPay, CSFloat, and others.
