The knife's chromed blade is coated with translucent paints that create gradient transitions. The color scheme includes various shades of purple, pink, and yellow. The color ratio depends on the pattern index. The guard and handle remain unpainted.
Float Value of the skin ranges from 0.00 to 0.08, which makes Bayonet | Fade available only in Factory New and Minimal Wear condition. At levels of wear close to the maximum, the knife has noticeable scratches and abrasions located on the spine and along the cutting edge.
The pattern index affects the color ratio of the skin. Bayonet | Fade with a maximum amount of purple on the tip of the blade (“100% Fade” or “Full Fade”) is the most valuable pattern variation. The less valuable pattern variations where the amount of purple decreases are titled “99% Fade” (or “fake Full Fade”) and “98% Fade”.
