Crimson Web Tier List — Web Count & Placement
Crimson Web is ranked by something anyone can see at a glance: how many full webs land on the playside, and how centered they sit. Add the family's brutal float behavior — the finish darkens fast with wear — and you get one of the most collectible knife lines in the game.
Every tier, seed by seed
The community tier lists, exactly as CSWatcher’s tier rules use them. Pick an item, or look up a pattern number.
Tiers are community rankings of paint seeds; a tier rule matches exactly the seeds listed. Prices are not shown here: they move with every listing.
What the tiers rank
Two variables: web count and placement. A single full, centered playside web already beats a webless pattern; two clean webs is a serious knife; a triple web is the family's chase pattern. Partial webs and edge placements rank below their centered equivalents on every list.
Why wear matters so much here
The red base darkens and the webs lose contrast as float climbs, so condition multiplies the pattern instead of just accompanying it. Factory New examples on the older knives are genuinely scarce — a FN with good webs is a grail, while the identical pattern in Field-Tested is just a nice knife.
Item by item
The classic Crimson Web knives — Karambit, M9 Bayonet, Bayonet, Flip and Gut — each form webs differently across their blades, so counts and placements that are common on one model are rare on another. The newer knife lines that received the finish extend the family with smaller supply and younger tier lists. (The webbed glove finishes, like Crimson Weave, are their own items with their own patterns.)
How to judge one you are looking at
Count the webs on the playside and be strict about it — a web that runs off the edge of the blade is not a full web, however good the thumbnail looks, and the difference between "two webs" and "one web plus a fragment" is real money. Then look at where they sit: centred on the visible face is the whole point, and a perfect web on the back of the blade is a nice detail rather than a premium. Read the wear next, because this finish punishes it harder than most — the base darkens and the webs lose their outline, so a strong pattern at high float can end up worth less than a plain one that is clean. Finally, check the model, since counts that are ordinary on one blade shape are scarce on another.
What the market pays for
Crimson Web is a scarcity story more than a coverage story, and the scarcity is doubled: good web patterns are uncommon, and low-wear examples of the older knives are uncommon separately. When both land on the same item you get one of the genuinely rare objects in CS2, and the price reflects that rather than any formula. Below the grails the family is more forgiving than blue gems — a single clean centred web on a mid-wear knife is an attainable collectible with a real audience, which makes this a reasonable family to learn pattern collecting on before spending grail money elsewhere.
Hunting webs
Web patterns are visible in the inspect view and invisible in the price column, which is the entire opportunity — and also the reason it cannot be worked by hand at any scale. Put the family on watch with the seeds and price limits you care about, on every marketplace CSWatcher covers, and let the alert come to you when a multi-web playside is priced like a webless one.
What is a triple web?
A pattern where three full webs land on the playside — the classic chase pattern for Crimson Web. Web count and how centered the webs sit are what tier lists rank; a single centered web already carries a premium over webless patterns.
Does wear matter more on Crimson Web?
Yes — the finish darkens fast with float, and webs lose contrast. Factory New Crimson Webs are genuinely scarce on the older knives, which is why a FN with good webs is a grail while a Field-Tested with the same pattern is just a nice knife.
Do Crimson Web gloves exist?
The glove finishes with webbing (like Crimson Weave) are separate finishes with their own patterns — the classic Crimson Web tier lists cover the knife line. Same idea, different item family and different lists.
