Kukri Knife | Fade was added to the game on February 7, 2024, in the A Call to Arms update and became one of the rare special items in the Kilowatt Case. The skin later also appeared in the Gallery Case. The skin was created by Valve.
The blade is coated with translucent paints that create smooth gradient transitions. The color scheme includes various shades of purple, pink, and yellow. The blade surface has a pronounced metallic sheen. The handle is dark brown.
The skin's Float Value ranges from 0.00 to 0.08, which makes Kukri Knife | Fade available only in Factory New and Minimal Wear conditions. Even at the highest wear levels, no noticeable abrasions appear on the blade. The metallic sheen remains unchanged regardless of the Float Value.
The pattern index affects the proportion and placement of colors on the blade surface. Patterns with the maximum amount of purple on the play side are especially valued. These include 100% Fade variants, also known as Full Fade (such as patterns #34, #41, #87, #93, and #105). Variants with 99% Fade (such as #29, #46, and #84) and 98% Fade (such as #11, #21, and #43) are valued slightly less, as the amount of purple gradually decreases. The least valuable variants have low Fade percentages, with purple almost or completely absent.
The quality of Kukri Knife | Fade is Covert. The skin is available in a StatTrak version. The skin is part of the Fade series. Minimal Wear versions are less common than Factory New ones and may cost more. Their higher price comes from the rarity of the condition, not from a better appearance.
