Origin Story
The Nomad Knife | Fade is recognized as a premium item, valued for its full-fade pattern group that aligns with classic Fade knives. Released on November 19, 2019, as part of Operation Shattered Web, this knife quickly became a status symbol among collectors. Its large blade prominently displays the vibrant gold, pink, and purple gradient, making the Fade pattern particularly striking in first-person view. The skin is often sought after for high-end fade collections, with an emphasis on achieving maximum fade percentages and good corner coverage.
Drop Chance
Nomad Knife | Fade is a knife-tier skin, so standard Valve rarity odds don't apply. Knives drop at a combined rate of approximately 0.26% from supported cases before accounting for which knife type and finish you get. Valve doesn't publish individual knife or phase probabilities.
