★ Bowie Knife | Marble Fade (Factory New)

The ★ Bowie Knife | Marble Fade in Factory New (FN) is a multicolored bowie for CS2 whose float scale breaks off at 0.08. Its rank is Covert, and the ★ mark sits on the name. On a bowie this finish drops from the Spectrum Case and the Spectrum 2 Case. It comes in two wears: Factory New and Minimal Wear (MW).

What the ★ Bowie Knife | Marble Fade looks like in Factory New

Valve describes the paint this way: black and silver metallic paint is laid down in a marbled pattern, with a translucent lacquer in three colors on top. On the blade that reads as a smooth shift from purple and pink at the point, through blue, to yellow and orange at the heel. The spine has saw teeth, the handle is black with two rivets, and the guard and pommel are orange-red.

In this wear the ★ Bowie Knife | Marble Fade is assigned 0.00 to 0.07. The scale of the finish itself breaks off at 0.08, so Factory New takes up almost all of it: 88%. Wear is recorded at the drop, and on a bowie with this float the lacquer on the blade shows almost no marks.

What to check before buying

Before paying for the ★ Bowie Knife | Marble Fade, it helps to check:

• the wear in the listing title: Factory New and Minimal Wear are sold as separate items, and the finish has no other wears;


• the applied name: a name tag can go on a bowie, and it stays on the knife after purchase.

Across 0.00 to 0.07 the listings of this knife are close to interchangeable, and a difference between them is hard to catch.

What the ★ Bowie Knife | Marble Fade costs in Factory New

This finish has an unusual order: Minimal Wear costs about one and a half times as much as Factory New. The Minimal Wear band is only 0.07 to 0.08, while Factory New takes the rest of the scale.

Getting the ★ Bowie Knife | Marble Fade

There is also the craft: five Covert skins from one collection turn into one rare special item, but the bowie that comes out is random. A Marble Fade chosen to order can only be bought as a ready listing.

Is there a StatTrak version

The Bowie Knife | Marble Fade has a StatTrak™ version in the game.
