Popularity and Rarity

The rarity of the item belongs to the Covert category. Also, about 400 more items are offered for the knife, and therefore the chance of its drop is 0.26%. The drop is rare enough but do not lose hope of getting it.
Pattern Description
The knife is equipped with a chrome-plated blade, which is colored with a translucent compound. The main colors are purple, pink, and yellow, which form a pleasant gradient. The blade’s coloration is directly affected by the pattern overlay. This explains why certain colors are missing on some skin models. The ring has a light beige coloring applied to it. The handle of the knife is not painted and is presented in a dark color.
The result is a contrasting skin that will capture the attention of users for a long time. It will become the basis for bright victories.
Effect of Float
Karambit | Fade’s Float Value ranges from 0.00 to 0.08. Accordingly, the skin is only available in Factory New and Minimal Wear exteriors. In the first case, its condition is flawless. All shades are as clear and intense as possible. In the latter exterior, scuffs and scratches appear on the upper edge of the blade and along the cutting edge. This is natural because any weapon changes when used and therefore its appearance deteriorates.
