★ StatTrak™ Gut Knife | Fade (Factory New)

The Gut Knife is defined by the hook cut into its spine; the working blade handles rope, webbing, and other fibrous material. It has been painted by airbrushing transparent paints that fade together over a chrome base coat.

The elongated blade gives the composition a clear direction and keeps the finish from feeling like a random overlay. The boundary between the treated surface and working components stays clean and supports the disciplined knife shape.

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

From its debut onward, the skin has been treated as a design of its own rather than a later recolor of another finish. On the Gut Knife, every Fade condition and special edition refers back to the same original design.

Among items from its release, Gut Knife | Fade is marked as Covert. The label describes the work’s place in the hierarchy rather than the preservation of the selected variant.

In the Gut Knife item hierarchy, the finish retains its assigned classification. Special editions do not receive a new rarity; their labels describe the version rather than its place in the hierarchy.

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

On the Gut Knife, the Fade treatment uses the Anodized Airbrushed method, shaping the way the image meets its material and geometry. Condition affects the clarity of edges and smaller details, but it leaves the central visual idea intact.

Gut 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 Gut 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 Gut Knife | Fade family includes standard edition and StatTrak™. By wear, the Gut Knife covers Factory New and Minimal Wear, so preservation depends on the selected variant.

No dedicated container is listed for Fade. Its available editions and conditions are still treated separately. The availability of one variant depends on its edition and condition together, not merely on the family name.

The origin of Fade begins with its original in-game release. The release of this Gut Knife variant is not tied to a particular case, leaving its original item group as the main source context.

The original release retained Fade as a treatment for one specific model.

Its base version carries no special tracking feature; the StatTrak™ edition adds a confirmed-kill counter. Its degrees of wear are represented by Factory New and Minimal Wear.

Two examples may share the same wear yet differ by edition, so comparison always takes place in two steps. Each variant is built on the Gut Knife | Fade artwork; edition and surface preservation remain qualities of the individual item.
