★ StatTrak™ Karambit | Fade (Factory New)

★ StatTrak™ Karambit | Fade in Factory New (FN) is a karambit with a kill counter, of Covert rank, with the ★ mark. The finish's float scale ends at 0.08, so the finish has only two wears, Factory New and Minimal Wear. In CS2 it drops from eleven cases, among them the CS:GO Weapon Case and the Revolver Case. The float band for the ★ StatTrak™ Karambit | Fade here is 0.00 to 0.07.

What the ★ StatTrak™ Karambit | Fade looks like in Factory New

The blade is covered by a smooth gradient: violet and purple tones turn to pink and light, and a red tint shows near the heel. The handle is dark gray, rubberized, with finger grooves, and the ring is steel.

On the ★ StatTrak™ Karambit | Fade the 0.00 to 0.07 band is narrow, and copies are almost indistinguishable by wear. Once the knife drops, its wear stays as it is.

What to check before buying

Copies of the ★ StatTrak™ Karambit | Fade tell apart in these ways:

• the colors of the blade in the listing image: the tone of the gradient is compared there;


• float within 0.00 to 0.07: the listings are equal by wear;


• counter reading: it cannot be reset, and the StatTrak Swap Tool only swaps the readings of two items of the same type;


• name tag: allowed, and there are no stickers on the knife.

What the ★ StatTrak™ Karambit | Fade costs in Factory New

Getting the ★ StatTrak™ Karambit | Fade

The karambit drops from the CS:GO Weapon Case, the eSports 2013 Case, the Operation Bravo Case and other cases out of the eleven. A StatTrak version also comes from a craft, if all five Covert skins of one type are StatTrak too.

StatTrak and the normal version

There is a normal Karambit | Fade as well, without a counter, and it is cheaper by the same seven percent. Knives have no Souvenir version at all.

Who this wear suits

Buying the ★ StatTrak™ Karambit | Fade in Factory New is reasonable in these situations:

• you want a karambit with a gradient and a kill counter;


• the blade should be free of scuffs, and Minimal Wear is the only other wear of the finish;


• your CS2 loadout is built in pink and purple, and the blade sets the accent.
