Karambit Blue Gem Tier Database
All 225 community-tiered Karambit Case Hardened seeds in one table. The tier labels come from two independent public tier systems, shown separately because they don't always agree: isitabluegem.com tiers each face on its own (playside and backside columns), while the CSGOSKINS.GG / Skinport list is a single playside-oriented ranking. The blue-coverage columns are our own measurement from the game's pattern data, computed separately for each face — on a knife the two faces can differ completely.
