★ StatTrak™ Paracord Knife | Marble Fade (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

In Minimal Wear the ★ Paracord Knife | Marble Fade keeps the same multicoloured marble blade and grey paracord handle, and the colours still read bright on screen. Any marks are small and sit mostly on the edge and tip, where they are hard to notice during a match. It gives the full look of the finish at a lower grade than Factory New.

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: Factory New.

How the skin looks 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.
