Talon Knife | Fade was added to the game on August 2, 2018, alongside "A New Horizon" update. The skin is available in cases “Horizon” and “Danger Zone”.
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 Talon Knife | 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 along the cutting edge.
The pattern index affects the color ratio of the skin. Karambit | Fade with a predominance of yellow and a minimal amount of purple (“100% Fade” or “Full Fade”) is the most expensive pattern variation. The second-rarest pattern variation only slightly differs from “Full Fade” and is titled “99% Fade” (or “fake Full Fade”). Pattern variations where the amount of purple increases and the size of yellow areas decreases (“95%-98% Fade”) are also considered to be valuable.
The quality of Talon Knife | Fade is Covert. The skin has a StatTrak option and belongs to the "Fade" series.
Talon Knife | Fade is currently one of the most popular skins, but it is rarely seen in the game due to its high price.
