Skeleton Knife | Marble Fade

Origin Story

The Skeleton Knife | Marble Fade, released on April 3, 2025, with the Spring Forward update, quickly established itself as a high-end item in the CS2 marketplace. Its visual identity comes from the anodized multicolored "Marble Fade" finish, which applies black and silver metallic paints with a marbleizing medium, then candy coats the blade in red, blue, and yellow. This combination, along with the knife's distinctive skeletonized handle, makes it a sought-after piece for collectors who value pattern chasing and float collecting, particularly for patterns resembling "Fire & Ice." The knife's flavor text, "The blade is made of many colors, but soon it all looks red," reinforces its aggressive theme and vibrant color scheme.

Skeleton Knife | Marble 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.
