★ Flip Knife | Fade (Factory New)

The Flip Knife carries a sharp Persian-style point on a backswept blade; a delicate tip sits within an otherwise surprisingly durable design. It has been painted by airbrushing transparent paints that fade together over a chrome base coat.

Most of the artwork unfolds across the blade plane, with the handle supporting it without unnecessary detail. During inspection, light falls differently across the blade plane and edge, emphasizing the form without unnecessary decoration.

The Fade design joined the Counter-Strike catalog as a distinct work with its own family of variants.

The skin began its path inside the game, where it was treated as a distinct finish for this model from the outset. On the Flip Knife, every Fade condition and special edition refers back to the same original design.

The assigned rarity of Flip Knife | Fade is Covert. It marks the design’s place among items from the same release and does not change with surface wear.

In the Flip Knife item hierarchy, the finish retains its assigned classification. Standard and special versions share one rarity even though their in-game traits and origins differ.

The Fade treatment works with that character instead of burying the item's form beneath decoration.

On the Flip Knife, the Fade treatment uses the Anodized Airbrushed method, shaping the way the image meets its material and geometry. As wear increases, parts of the surface may lose definition without turning the treatment into a different design.

Flip Knife | Fade is easy to recognize through the pairing of a familiar silhouette with a distinct surface treatment. Its identity does not depend on inspecting tiny details.

A clear visual rhythm keeps Fade from disappearing beside other finishes made for the Flip Knife. Condition adds another visible distinction: cleaner examples preserve more of the original detail, while abrasion gives the same design a rougher, quieter character.

The available editions of Flip Knife | Fade are standard edition and StatTrak™. Surface condition on the Flip Knife is represented by Factory New and Minimal Wear, shaping each individual example.

No dedicated container is listed for Fade. Its available editions and conditions are still treated separately. Matching wear alone does not make two items the same version: edition comes first, followed by surface condition.

The route of Fade into the catalog begins with its official game release. No opening container is listed for this Flip Knife skin. Its source can instead be followed through the rest of the original release data.

The origin of Fade is considered together with the model for which it was released.

By edition, the Flip Knife | Fade family consists of standard edition and StatTrak™. The standard item comes without an added counter; StatTrak™ is fitted with a kill counter. Each edition can appear in one of these conditions: Factory New and Minimal Wear.

Versions are separated first by edition and then by wear, so two visually close examples can still belong to different variants.
