Survival Knife | Fade was added to the game on November 18, 2019, as part of The Shattered Web Case, which was released alongside the start of Operation Shattered Web.
The blade of the knife is chromed and coated with translucent paints creating gradient transitions. The pattern is made in various shades of purple, pink and yellow. The color ratio depends on the pattern index. The handle remains unpainted.
Float Value of the skin ranges from 0.00 to 0.08, which makes Survival Knife | Fade available only in Factory New and Minimal Wear condition. At levels of wear close to the maximum, the knife has small abrasions located on the spine.
The pattern index affects the color ratio of the skin. Survival Knife | Fade with a maximum amount of purple on the tip of the blade (“100% Fade” or “Full Fade”) is considered to be 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”.
The quality of Survival Knife | Fade is Covert. The skin has a StatTrak option and belongs to the "Fade" series.
Survival Knife | Fade is currently a rather popular skin, which is often seen in the game.
