★ Stiletto Knife | Marble Fade (Factory New)

The ★ Stiletto Knife | Marble Fade in Factory New (FN) is a long, narrow CS2 blade. Color moves along it from a red-violet tip to yellow and orange at the base. Covert rank, with the ★ mark. This Stiletto drops from the Prisma Case and the Prisma 2 Case. The finish has two wears: the scale stops at 0.08, and after Factory New only Minimal Wear (MW) remains.

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

The blade resembles a needle: thin, elongated, sharp at the end. Near the tip the lacquer is red-violet, then blue, with a yellow zone in the middle, and the blade darkens to orange-red at the base. The handle scales are gray-brown, with a blue button in the center and a golden cap on the butt. The bolster between blade and handle is blue-violet, with two lugs at the sides. By Valve's description, the color is a three-shade lacquer over a marbled metal base.

This wear of the ★ Stiletto Knife | Marble Fade runs from 0.00 to 0.07. On a blade this thin, marks settle first on the point and on the lugs of the bolster, and in Factory New there is not one. A copy's float is recorded at the drop and does not change afterward.

What to check before buying

Before buying the ★ Stiletto Knife | Marble Fade, check a few points:

• the wear in the listing title: Minimal Wear covers only the remainder of the scale, 0.07 to 0.08, and costs more than Factory New;


• name tag: a Stiletto can take one, and the knife has no stickers;


• edition: the StatTrak version is listed as a separate item;


• float: the 0.00 to 0.07 stretch is short, and the differences between listings disappear into the margin of error.

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

Minimal Wear costs almost one and a half times as much as the top wear. Factory New is the cheaper of the two, and its point is untouched.

Among Stiletto finishes, Marble Fade sits in the lower part of the ladder: only Damascus Steel, Forest DDPAT and Tiger Tooth cost less. Stained is a few percent higher, Safari Mesh more than a quarter. Crimson Web costs five times as much, Doppler Ruby six, and Doppler Black Pearl almost fourteen.

Getting the ★ Stiletto Knife | Marble Fade

The Stiletto Knife | Marble Fade drops from the Prisma and Prisma 2 cases, and the wear is random on opening. A contract is no way to get this Stiletto on purpose. Five Covert skins from one collection turn into a rare special item, and the contract, not the player, decides the model and finish. The Stiletto you want is bought as a ready listing.

Is there a StatTrak version

A StatTrak™ version of the ★ Stiletto Knife | Marble Fade exists in the game.

Who this wear suits

Buying the ★ Stiletto Knife | Marble Fade in Factory New makes sense when:

• you want a Stiletto with an intact point and a multicolor blade, and no phase in its name;


• your CS2 loadout is built on a dark gray-brown handle with a gold detail, and the blade should supply the bright spot;


• there is no reason to pay extra for the narrow band of Minimal Wear.
