I keep seeing traders instantly point out whether a knife has a “good” pattern or not, but to me most of them still look very similar. Does it just take time to notice the details?
That’s exactly what happened to me after spending more time comparing listings and screenshots. At first I honestly couldn’t tell why some knives were getting more attention than others, but later I started reading more here about phase comparisons and visual differences between patterns, and the details suddenly became much easier to notice. Things like brighter color balance, cleaner transitions, and overall symmetry stopped looking random once I understood what people were actually comparing.
