★ Paracord Knife | Marble Fade (Minimal Wear)

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The blade carries the whole finish: the tip is blue, the middle turns yellow and orange-red, and the section toward the guard fades into purple and blue. Dark grey and black marble veining runs across all the colours, giving the surface a stone-like texture.

In Minimal Wear faint scratches can appear on the cutting edge and the very tip, and occasionally along the spine. The main body of the blade, the slot area and the guard still look clean. At normal viewing distance in game the difference from Factory New is barely noticeable. The gradient and marble veining remain fully readable.
