What is the difference between, lets say a Factory New and Field Tested or Minimal Wear BLUE Case Hardened?

For example, what am I supposed to be looking at if all 3 of the "wears" are full blue. What is the difference if FN/FT/MW are all Blue.

? The light? Shine of the blue? Does that determine the wear?

Thanks!!!

The only difference is the how bright or dark the colors or overall knife is.

Five Seven, I guess. Is the one I'm interested about.
So if its FN, its supposed to be a lighter and brighter blue? Which makes a MW and lower a bit darker?

The brightness for one but with case hardened it's also the crinkle in the hardening.
The better the quality the less noticeable the orange peel like effect.

But the most noticeable is the brightness of the gold.

Not shade of blue, it's bright not dull.
Understand?

THE DIFFERENCE IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE.

FIELD TESTED
MINIMAL WEAR
FACTORY NEW

Don't fall into the elaborate trap of "Look either like FT/MW/FN"

Why waste your money on crap like that when you can buy a real MW or FN?

This is not true.
There is a clear difference between them.

You like getting scammed? That's how you get scammed.

You're probably one of those guys who says their awp is looks FN but actually BS to try and get more value out of it.
