★ StatTrak™ Huntsman Knife | Marble Fade (Factory New)

Skin overview

★ Huntsman Knife | Marble Fade covers the tanto blade in a marbled multicolour finish where blue, yellow, red and purple flow into one another. In Factory New the colours keep their full depth, and the marble veins read sharply from the tip to the guard. This is the grade for a buyer who wants the gradient exactly as it was applied, with no breaks in the paint.

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.

Other qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The blade carries the full Marble Fade gradient: purple and blue near the tanto tip, a bright yellow band, then orange and red, turning back to blue and purple toward the guard. A marbled texture of lighter and darker veins runs over all the colours, and the fuller line along the blade stays visible through it.

In Factory New the blade shows no visible wear, and the gradient is unbroken along the edge, tip and spine. The serrations keep the same colour as the rest of the blade. In game the colours read bright and clean in the inspect animation and at any normal distance. The grip, pins and guard look untouched.

What to check before buying

• Look at the float position within the range, since copies near the upper end are the most likely to show marks at the tip.
• Check the colour distribution on the blade, because the balance of blue, yellow and red differs from copy to copy and changes the overall look.
• Inspect the tip and the serrated spine closely, as these are the first places where the coating breaks.
• Decide whether you need the StatTrak™ version and check for a name tag if that matters to you.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the gradient with no marks at all.
• Players who often use the inspect animation and want a spotless blade every time.
• Factory New is the choice when a clean finish matters more than saving.
