About ★ Falchion Knife | Case Hardened
The ★ Falchion Knife | Case Hardened in Field-Tested is the entry-tier research condition for Falchion pattern hunting. The Falchion's curved blade gives Case Hardened oxidation an unusual mounting context — the curve concentrates blue-yellow zones differently than straight or wide-blade knives.
Pattern hunting on Falchion
Standard Tier mechanics apply: Tier-1 blue gem (>90% blue play face) at 5-7× generic FT premium, Tier-2 (60-80%) at 1.5-2.5×, Tier-3 (clearly blue-dominant) at 1.2-1.5×. The Falchion's curve means seed verification requires angle-aware screenshots — flat play-face shots can hide quality variance.
FT as the research tier
FT keeps oxidation legible enough for Tier verification while staying at a price floor that allows buying multiple seeds for inspection.
