Survival Knife | Marble Fade

Origin Story

The Survival Knife | Marble Fade, introduced on April 3, 2025, with the Spring Forward update, features a blade painted with black and silver metallic paints using a marbleizing medium, then candy coated in three colors. This finish is widely considered a desirable and flashy choice, often serving as a centerpiece for players seeking a multicolored, rainbow-style knife. The Marble Fade family of skins is generally treated as a mid-to-high tier, status-oriented option. Its visual identity is characterized by strong red, yellow, and blue sections, which are typically the most dominant colors. The knife's flavor text notes, "The blade is made of many colors, but soon it all looks red."

Drop Chance

Survival 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.

Skin Condition

Float range 0 to 0.08. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear. StatTrak is available in FN, MW.

• Factory New ($195.07): The Marble Fade gradient features full color saturation and metallic sheen across the blade, with edges and tip appearing smooth and glossy, making this the premium condition for collectors.
• Minimal Wear ($224.63): The vibrant Marble Fade colors remain intact, with only subtle micro-wear or tiny chips appearing on the cutting edge or tip when inspected closely, offering a value option that is nearly identical in play to Factory New.

Model

Marble Fade uses the current Survival Knife model, added with Spring Forward on April 3, 2025. The Anodized finish responds to CS2's dynamic lighting.

Players can also acquire this knife by purchasing it directly from the Steam Community Market, third-party marketplaces, or various case-opening and skin-trading sites.

Sticker Compatibility

Knives in CS2 do not have sticker slots, so direct sticker crafts are not possible on the Survival Knife | Marble Fade. For loadout matching, players often pair Marble Fade knives with weapon skins or sticker themes featuring red, blue, and yellow gradients or bright holographic stickers that complement the multicolor blade.
