Butterfly Knife | Fade appeared in CS:GO on July 1, 2014. The skin is contained in the Operation Breakout Weapon Case that was added to the shooter with the mentioned operation.

The balisong blade is painted in shades of yellow, red, and purple with a gradient transition of colors to each other. The handles are a standard dark gray with burgundy inserts.

The pattern index determines the percentage of colors on the knife’s blade. The most precious are the versions with the maximum purple at the blade's tip – “100% Fade” or “Full Fade.” Slightly less valuable are “99% Fade” (or “fake Full Fade”) and “98% Fade”, where the percentage of purple is slightly less.

Float Value of Butterfly Knife | Fade can vary between 0.00 and 0.08, making the skin obtainable only in “Factory New” and “Minimal Wear” exterior qualities. Because of the narrow range of possible float values, wear has little effect on the skin’s appearance and is expressed in abrasions at the base of the blade and its tip.

Butterfly Knife | Fade is categorized as the “Covert” skin and is available with the StatTrak kill counter. The skin is popular among CS:GO players, but it’s rarely seen in the shooter because of its high cost.
