About Ruby patterns

Ruby is one of the three top-colour gem variants of the Stiletto Knife Doppler — multiple red gradients on a metallic smoke base, mimicking polished ruby. The thin Stiletto blade has less area for dark spotting than larger knives.

Top T1 seeds show clean red coverage on the visible blade. Lower ranks expose more dark sections. Ruby shares paint_seed with Sapphire and Black Pearl on this knife.

01T1Tier 1 — Best patterns

What makes a T1

The best patterns in this skin. Tightest symmetry, deepest coverage, and the visual hallmarks that separate top-shelf examples from everything else.

02T2Tier 2

What makes a T2

Very strong patterns — close to T1 quality but with one or two visual compromises (off-axis tip, slightly less coverage, or a less symmetric back).

03T3Tier 3

What makes a T3

Above-average patterns. Recognisable as "good" but with a clear weakness compared to T1/T2 — useful for buyers who want a hint of pattern premium without paying T1 prices.

Everything else — Unranked

The remaining ~851 paint_seeds fall outside the curated tiers. They make up the bulk of Phase 1 supply on every marketplace and don’t carry a pattern premium — what you see is what you get, like the baseline reference (seed #716) we used at the top of this guide. If a seed isn’t listed in T1–T4 or BTA above, treat it as Unranked.
