★ Paracord Knife | Fade (Factory New)

The ★ Paracord Knife | Fade in Factory New (FN) is a CS2 paracord knife whose blade paint fades smoothly from blue-violet to pale yellow. This Covert knife with the ★ mark comes from the Shattered Web Case and the Fracture Case. The float scale of the finish stops at 0.08, so there are two wears: Factory New and Minimal Wear (MW). Factory New is given a float of 0.00 to 0.07, which is almost the whole scale.

What the ★ Paracord Knife | Fade looks like in Factory New

The blade is straight, with a slot along the spine and a beveled tip. The paint runs as a gradient: blue-violet at the point, then pink, then orange, and pale yellow by the handle. According to Valve, the translucent paints go on by airbrush over a chrome base. The handle is wrapped in gray-beige paracord.

In Factory New the chrome base and the paint are whole, and the tip and the edge show no scuffs. Wear is fixed at the drop, and inside the 0.00 to 0.07 band it is minimal.
