Origin Story
The Flip Knife | Fade is a classic Arms Deal knife finish, introduced on August 14, 2013, with The Arms Deal update. Its visual signature is an anodized multicolored fade over a chrome base, where transparent paints are airbrushed to blend from gold into pink and purple tones. This creates a highly visible color gradient along the blade face and spine, which are the primary visual elements in first-person view. Often regarded as a high-tier status symbol, particularly in high fade percentages, the skin is considered one of the premium finishes within the Flip Knife family.
Drop Chance
Flip 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.
Skin Condition
Float range 0 to 0.08. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear. StatTrak is available in FN, MW. Factory New (No Recent Price): Full color vibrancy is maintained across the gold, pink, and purple Fade gradient, with micro-scratches being extremely minimal and typically only visible under close inspection. Minimal Wear (No Recent Price): The Fade gradient remains strong and clearly visible, though slight edge wear or tiny dull spots may appear near the tip or along the blade edge.
Model
Fade uses the legacy Flip Knife model, introduced with The Arms Deal on August 14, 2013. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.

Sticker Compatibility
The gold, pink, and purple gradient of the Flip Knife | Fade pairs effectively with yellow, pink, purple, and holographic stickers for users creating matching weapon and knife loadouts. Common pairings include Fade pistols like the Glock-18 Fade and USP-S Fade, or rifles with complementary color schemes. Since knives do not have sticker slots, sticker visibility depends on the paired weapon, with players often choosing placements that highlight the sticker in first-person view.
