Pattern description
Adorned with a lustrous chrome finish, the blade and guard of this knife are embellished with a diaphanous coating, yielding a mesmerizing gradient of hues that dance between shades of amethyst, cerise, and daffodil. The hue distribution is subject to the whims of the pattern index, while the grip stands in stark contrast, devoid of coloration.
Effect of float
The M9 Bayonet | Fade boasts a Float Value spectrum stretching from the pristine 0.00 to a slightly tarnished 0.08, confining its condition to the echelons of Factory New and Minimal Wear. Approaching the zenith of wear, the spine and aperture of the knife betray the presence of conspicuous scratches and signs of wear, with lesser blemishes scattered along the remaining blade edges.
Pattern difference
In the realm of the M9 Bayonet | Fade, the pattern index is the arbiter of the skin's chromatic balance. The most coveted pattern, known as the '100% Fade' or 'Full Fade,' features a regal purple at the blade's tip, cascading into a gradient that envelops the guard's ring. A close kin, the '99% Fade' or 'pseudo Full Fade,' bears a striking resemblance with only minute variations, while the '98% Fade' is also held in high esteem, marked by a diminution of purple.
Skin Features
The M9 Bayonet | Fade is classified as Covert in quality. It is part of the illustrious 'Fade' series and offers the option of a StatTrak device to track one's triumphs.
Skin popularity
