Rare Paracord Knife patterns: Blue Gem, Fire & Ice and Fade
Three Paracord 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: Paracord 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: Paracord 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: Paracord 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.

Which cases drop the Paracord Knife?
The Paracord Knife drops from three cases as a rare special item. Which finishes you can get depends on the case: original finishes come from two cases and Chroma finishes from the Fever Case.
