★ Skeleton Knife | Marble Fade (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This Marble Fade on the Skeleton Knife keeps the same bright gradient of blue, gold and red over black and silver marbling, framed by the dark taped grip. At Minimal Wear the finish sits just past the cleanest grade, so the difference from Factory New comes down to faint marks that need close inspection. For a buyer who wants the colours without paying for a perfect surface, this grade gives nearly the same look in hand.

Item type: knife. Covert is the top weapon rarity: usually the most prominent items of a collection or case.

Anodized Multicolored: several colours in the metal coating; it wears little, the colours only dull with use.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New.

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

The blade carries the main colour work: the tip and the spine side shift through blue and purple, a band of gold and yellow crosses the middle, and red and orange tones gather near the row of holes. Toward the finger ring the colours return to blue and violet, and the ring itself is painted in the same coat.

At Minimal Wear faint scuffs may appear at the very tip of the blade and around the edges of the holes. The rest of the blade, the finger ring and the tang still look clean, and the gradient keeps its full saturation. In game these marks are practically invisible at normal viewing distance. The taped grip shows no meaningful difference from Factory New.
