★ Ursus Knife | Fade (Factory New)

★ Ursus Knife | Fade in Factory New (FN) is a CS2 knife with a blade where violet turns to pink, orange and golden. The rank is Covert, marked with the ★. The knife comes from the Horizon Case and the Danger Zone Case. The finish has two wears because its float scale ends at 0.08. For Factory New the float is 0.00 to 0.07.

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

The blade is tanto-style and faceted, with a slanted cut at the point. A gradient starts at the tip: blue-violet, then crimson and pink, then orange and golden yellow at the base. A short row of teeth sits at the heel of the edge. The handle is olive-green and rubberized, with a stippled texture, a black ring guard separates it from the blade, and the pommel has a hole. Valve explains that transparent paints were airbrushed over a chrome base.

In Factory New the paint is intact across the whole blade. Wear is locked in at the drop, and the float figure stays the same. The stretch from 0.00 to 0.07 is short on the ★ Ursus Knife | Fade, so the difference between listings falls within the margin of error.

Where the ★ Ursus Knife | Fade came from

The Fade on the Ursus Knife is found in the Horizon Case and the Danger Zone Case. Valve launched the second of them on December 7, 2018, and put the Horizon knives in it as rare special items.

What to check before buying

When choosing a ★ Ursus Knife | Fade listing, this is what matters:

• the listing picture: it shows how the colors lie on the blade;


• the name tag: it is allowed on the Ursus Knife and stays on the item after the purchase;


• the version: the StatTrak Ursus Knife is listed as a separate product.

What the ★ Ursus Knife | Fade costs in Factory New

Minimal Wear (MW) costs about two fifths more. It takes only one hundredth of the float scale, the stretch from 0.07 to 0.08.

Among the 22 Covert Ursus Knife finishes in Factory New, the Fade sits a little below the middle: nine are cheaper and twelve are more expensive. Doppler Phase 3 and Doppler Phase 1 are higher by a sixth, Blue Steel and Scorched lower by five or six percent, and Slaughter lower by a sixth. The priciest are Doppler Ruby, Crimson Web and Doppler Black Pearl. At the bottom, Damascus Steel costs half as much, while Boreal Forest and Tiger Tooth are a third lower.

Getting the ★ Ursus Knife | Fade

The ★ Ursus Knife | Fade drops from the Horizon Case and the Danger Zone Case, and the wear at opening is random. A contract is another route: five Covert skins of one collection combine into a rare special item, but its model and finish cannot be ordered. A specific Ursus Knife is bought from a finished listing.

Is there a StatTrak version

The ★ Ursus Knife | Fade has a StatTrak version in the game.

Who this wear suits

Factory New makes sense for the ★ Ursus Knife | Fade in three cases:

• you want a blade with a transition from violet to golden and intact paint across the whole surface;


• your CS2 loadout is built in warm and pink tones, and the olive handle stays neutral;


• you do not need to pay extra for Minimal Wear: across 0.00 to 0.07 and 0.07 to 0.08 the float differs by one hundredth at most.
