Pattern description
Adorned with a lustrous chrome finish, the blade of this exquisite knife is enrobed in a semi-transparent varnish, giving rise to a spectrum of gradient hues. Adorning the metal are tints of amethyst, cerise, and canary, the distribution of which is contingent upon the pattern index. The grip remains devoid of paint, yet is enhanced with crimson inserts for a touch of elegance.
Effect of float
The Butterfly Knife | Fade's Float Value oscillates between the nadir of 0.00 and the zenith of 0.08, ensuring its presence exclusively in conditions of Factory New and Minimal Wear. Proximity to the upper echelons of wear manifests as conspicuous scuffs and wear along the blade's edge.
Pattern difference
Intricacies of the pattern index orchestrate the chromatic balance of the skin. A Butterfly Knife | Fade that boasts a preponderance of amethyst at the blade's apex, known colloquially as '100% Fade' or 'Full Fade,' is heralded as the pinnacle of value. Lesser esteemed variations, such as the '99% Fade' or the so-called 'fake Full Fade,' and the '98% Fade,' are characterized by a diminished presence of purple.
