★ Shadow Daggers Crimson Web Pattern Guide

A comprehensive pattern guide & tier list for Shadow Daggers Crimson Web knives!

Introduction

I decided to create a guide for Shadow Daggers Crimson Web patterns after failing to find similar content. First, I explain the main factors that matter in Crimson Web patterns overall and how that applies to Shadow Dagger knives. Then, I define different tiers and their characteristics, and finally, I compile a list of "Web Gem" patterns for Shadow Daggers Crimson Webs after carefully reviewing all 1000 available patterns.

I aimed for objectivity. I explained the logic in order to eliminate my subjective opinions from this guide. I should clarify in the beginning that there is no monetary incentive for me to share this information. You can verify this by checking my inventory – I don't own any Crimson Web Shadow Daggers on my steam account or elsewhere.

Unfortunately, I've seen a lot of cases where players own valuable Crimson web items but they don't know and end up selling them for an average price. If you know someone who owns a Crimson Web knife, please consider sharing this guide with them. They might find this information useful.

NOTE: All screenshots in my guide are sourced from the pattern.wiki website.

Crimson Web Pallete

First, I should explain that what makes a crimson web skin appealing (at least to the CS community). In order to discuss that we should first take a look into the Crimson Web Palette. Every Crimson Web seed pattern would be a selection of this Palette with X-Y offsets and different rotations.

Here is the Palette: (source: pattern.wiki)

Now, if you look closely you see there are two main webs in the palette that each one of them intersects 16 nets. In the community, these are called "Real" webs. In this guide I prefer to call them 16-nets web because that is what makes them different from any other webs in the palette.

---

Accordingly,

the best crimson web pattern is the one that not only has the both of these "16-nets web" on the knife, but also locate them at the position in the knife that is the most visible.

For shadow daggers, ideally we want the 16-nets webs on the tips of the daggers so they can be fully visible.

Shadow Daggers Crimson Web Tiers

Now here are the shadow daggers crimson web tiers based on the explanation I provided above:

Web Gem: Two "16-nets webs" both located at the center of the tips.
Example: (Pattern 465)

---

Tier 1: Two "16-nets webs" present but only one is at the center of the tip.
Example: (Pattern 35)

---

Tier 2: One "16-nets web" present and it is at the center of the tip
Example: (Pattern 18)

---

Other combinations, such as having two '16-nets webs' not positioned at the center, are not considered premium. This is due to the narrow exposure area on the sides, resulting in often incomplete webs in those instances. Similarly, when '16-nets webs' are situated at the tips but on the edges, they are not fully displayed, and as a result, they are not considered a premium finish.

Web Gems List

After spending a couple of hours reviewing each pattern individually, here is the table for the Shadow Daggers Crimson Web Gem patterns list.

Web Gems

101
253
275
370
418
442
465
481
676
680
967

If there is any pattern that you think I missed please mention them in the comments so I review and update my list.

My personal favourites are patterns 465 and 676 where both main webs are at the center of each tip.

When buying any Crimson Web knife, a rule of thumb is to avoid overpay in cases where the main webs are located on the edges and only partially visible.

and look cool imo

[YE3TG0D]

You can check my profile i have them its like web on top of the left one

[Giuseppe]

@YE3T : Lots of Webs in 936. Looks kinda cool imo. At the end of the day, it is a subjective matter whether one like the web to be on the tip or not.

[YE3TG0D]

Hey what about pattern 936 i have some webs on both daggers just want to know if it fine or nothing thanks

[Giuseppe]

@Baboon : Checked it. Unless in good float, I don't think you can count on overpay on this. Looks pretty common

[Jew Smuggler]

Hey thoughts on pattern 691? Normal or overpay?
