★ M9 Bayonet | Fade (Factory New)

★ M9 Bayonet | Fade in Factory New (FN): an M9 Bayonet in CS2 with a smooth transition from purple through pink-red to orange and yellow. Covert rank, with the ★ mark. The knife drops from eleven cases, starting with the CS:GO Weapon Case and ending with the Revolver Case. The float scale breaks off at 0.08, so there are two wears: the top one lies at 0.00 to 0.07, and Minimal Wear (MW) takes the remainder.

What the ★ M9 Bayonet | Fade looks like in Factory New

The blade is painted in a gradient. At the tip the color is purple-blue, followed by crimson and pink-red, with orange and golden yellow nearer the guard. The spine carries a saw. The guard with its ring stays silver and unpainted, and the handle is dark gray with transverse rings. By Valve's description, translucent paints are airbrushed and blend together over a chrome base.

This wear of the ★ M9 Bayonet | Fade is assigned a float of 0.00 to 0.07. In Factory New the chrome base and paint are intact along the whole blade, and the cutting edge is the first to take wear. Wear is set at drop: a copy stays as it was when unboxed.

Phase and pattern

Fade has no phases, so there is nothing to choose in a listing title: one name covers every copy. Copies are compared by the picture, which shows how the colors spread across the blade.

What to check before buying

In a ★ M9 Bayonet | Fade listing, these parameters are worth checking:

• the listing picture, which shows how the color runs from the tip to the guard;


• an applied name: a name tag on the M9 Bayonet is possible and stays on the item after purchase;


• the version, since a StatTrak listing is a separate item.

Between 0.00 and 0.07 the look of the ★ M9 Bayonet | Fade does not change.

A StatTrak version of the ★ M9 Bayonet | Fade exists in the game.

Who this wear suits

Buying the ★ M9 Bayonet | Fade specifically in Factory New makes sense when:

• you want an M9 Bayonet with a pink-red transition, and Doppler gems cost many times more;


• your CS2 loadout is in warm and pink tones, and the silver guard gives a neutral accent;


• you need an untouched edge, and paying extra for Minimal Wear is pointless.
