Crimson Web Patterns Guide
Crimson Web Guide: Patterns, Web Counts & Prices
Crimson Web is one of the most recognizable knife finishes in CS2. It is easy to identify by its dark red base and black spiderweb pattern. However, the main value of Crimson Web depends not only on the knife model or condition, but also on the specific pattern seed: it determines where the webs appear on the blade and how clearly they are visible in-game.
That is why, when looking at Crimson Web patterns in CS2, you should focus on three things: the number of webs, their placement on the play side, and the quality of the pattern itself. One knife may have an almost empty red blade, while another may feature a large centered web that collectors are willing to overpay for.
Crimson Web is also valued because of its rarity in Factory New condition. For most knives with this finish, the float range is roughly from 0.06 to 0.80, which means Factory New exists only within the very narrow 0.06–0.07 range. Because of this, clean FN Crimson Web knives are rare and noticeably more expensive.

What Is a Crimson Web Pattern?
Crimson Web uses a pattern index, or seed, which determines how the pattern is placed on the blade. Usually, there are 1,000 possible patterns: in guides, they may be listed as seeds from 0 to 999 or as pattern indexes from 1 to 1000. The same seed on the same knife model always gives the same web placement.
The key detail is that different knives have different blade shapes. A pattern that looks strong on an M9 Bayonet will not necessarily be valued the same way on a Karambit or Butterfly Knife. The M9 Bayonet has a larger blade, so double web and triple web patterns appear more often on it. The Karambit has a smaller blade, so collectors often value not three webs, but one large, well-positioned web in the center of the play side.
Web Count: How to Count Webs
Web Count is the number of clearly visible webs on the play side of the knife. It is important to count not just black lines, but full web centers from which the pattern spreads outward. These are often called real webs or true webs. If only random lines are visible without a clear center, it may be a fake web — and such a pattern is usually valued lower.
Crimson Web patterns can roughly be divided like this:
0 web — almost no noticeable web on the play side;
single web — one clearly visible web;
double web — two noticeable webs;
triple web — three webs, a rare and expensive option.
However, quantity is not always more important than quality. One large centered web can be worth more than two small webs near the edges of the blade. For collectors, the center, symmetry, and in-game visibility of the pattern matter especially much.
Examples of Rare Crimson Web Patterns
For M9 Bayonet | Crimson Web, triple web patterns are especially valued. In different tables, seed #718 is often highlighted as one of the strongest examples, along with patterns #13, #72, #297, #375, #513, #646, #857, and #944. #706 is also often mentioned as one of the most famous M9 Bayonet triple hub patterns. For double web M9 patterns, #146 and #180 are commonly noted because the webs are placed fairly evenly and visibly.
For Karambit | Crimson Web, the situation is different. Because of the small curved blade, triple web patterns are almost never seen, and double web is not always considered the best option. Here, single web patterns with a large web in the center of the blade are valued more. Examples of tier-one patterns often include #10, #21, #59, #60, #86, #92, #112, #148, #162, #172, #189, #251, #309, #390, #515, #629, #803, #904, #958, and #977.
For Butterfly Knife | Crimson Web, not only the webs matter, but also the animation: the knife is often seen in motion, so a good pattern looks especially impressive. Triple web examples for Butterfly Knife include #165, #171, #346, #347, #525, #526, #568, #591, #686, #830, #857, #868, #887, #935, and #977.
For Classic Knife | Crimson Web, #130 is often highlighted as a strong triple web example, #19 as a double web, and #903 as a good single web with a centered web.
What Affects the Price of Crimson Web?
The price of Crimson Web depends on several factors.
The first factor is the knife model. Karambit, Butterfly Knife, M9 Bayonet, Talon Knife, and Skeleton Knife usually cost more because of their popular shapes, animations, and player demand.
The second factor is float. Factory New and low Minimal Wear are valued higher because scratches can strongly affect both the red base and the web pattern on Crimson Web knives.
The third factor is the number and placement of webs. Triple web usually costs noticeably more than regular patterns, but only if the webs are clearly visible on the play side of the knife. Double web can also be expensive, especially on M9 Bayonet and Butterfly Knife. For Karambit, one large centered web is often more important.
The fourth factor is real web vs fake web. A real web has a visible center and lines spreading outward. A fake web may look similar in a screenshot, but it is usually not considered a true rare pattern.
Approximate Crimson Web Prices
Crimson Web prices depend heavily on the model, float, StatTrak, seed, and current market conditions. Because of that, the prices below are not fixed values, but approximate prices for July 2026.
More affordable options such as Gut Knife | Crimson Web may start at around $75, while Flip Knife | Crimson Web may start at around $180. These are options for players who want a red-and-black knife without overpaying for a top-tier model.
The mid-range segment starts with Bayonet | Crimson Web, Talon Knife | Crimson Web, and similar models. Bayonet can sit roughly in the $190–$2,250 range, while Talon Knife can be around $300–$4,000, depending on condition and pattern.
The premium segment includes M9 Bayonet | Crimson Web, Butterfly Knife | Crimson Web, Karambit | Crimson Web, and Skeleton Knife | Crimson Web. M9 Bayonet can be found roughly in the $480–$16,500 range, Butterfly Knife around $630–$30,600, while clean versions of Karambit | Crimson Web sit around $7,400, with rare patterns featuring a strong web potentially costing even more. Skeleton Knife | Crimson Web is usually cheaper than Karambit, but still remains an expensive option: its general range is around $260–$6,400, where the upper values usually refer to rare listings, StatTrak versions, or especially strong patterns.

How to Check Crimson Web Before Buying
Before buying, you should not look only at the listing name. Always inspect the knife in-game: check the play side, float, number of webs, pattern center, and visible scratches. If a seller writes “double web,” “triple web,” or “centered web,” this should be confirmed with screenshots and the pattern index.
You should be especially careful with expensive knives. The difference between a regular Crimson Web and a rare pattern can be hundreds or even thousands of dollars. If you are unsure, it is better to compare the pattern number with examples from up-to-date tables, such as the ones in our example, or ask people who understand the skin market well.
