Rare Bowie Knife patterns: Blue Gem, Fire & Ice and Fade
Three Bowie Knife finishes are priced by pattern rather than exterior: the Case Hardened (Blue Gem), the Marble Fade (Fire & Ice) and the Fade (fade percentage).
Blue Gem: Bowie Knife Case Hardened
Case Hardened patterns run from gold to almost fully blue. The bluest seeds, called Blue Gems, sell for many times a normal copy.
Fire & Ice: Bowie Knife Marble Fade
A Marble Fade with only red and blue on the blade, and no yellow, is called Fire & Ice and sells at a premium over other Marble Fades.
Fade percentage: Bowie Knife Fade
A Fade is priced by how much of the blade shows the full gradient. Higher fade percentages cost more than the lowest listing suggests.
