Bayonet | Fade

Origin Story

The Bayonet | Fade was introduced on August 14, 2013, as part of The Arms Deal update, bringing a vibrant, multicolored finish to the game. Its design features transparent paints that seamlessly fade into one another over a chrome base coat, creating a distinctive visual. This knife is not just a weapon, but a conversation piece, as noted by Imogen, an Arms Dealer In Training.

Drop Chance

Bayonet | 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): The transparent paints show a full range of color across the blade, reflecting light from the chrome base coat.
• Minimal Wear (No Recent Price): The multicolor fade remains vibrant, with minor reductions in sheen across the blade's surface.

Model

Fade uses the legacy Bayonet model, introduced with The Arms Deal on August 14, 2013. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.

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.
