★ Stiletto Knife | Marble Fade (Factory New)

Skin overview

★ Stiletto Knife | Marble Fade is a Covert knife with a candy-coated marble finish in red, yellow and blue over a dark metallic base. In Factory New the coating covers the long, narrow blade without breaks, so the colour transitions stay sharp from the tip down to the bolster. This is the grade for buyers who want the finish to look exactly as it does on the inspect screen.

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: Minimal Wear.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The blade carries the main marble pattern, where red, orange-yellow and blue-violet patches flow into each other over a darker metallic base. The bolster and the guard near the release catch are anodized in deep blue and purple tones that match the cooler parts of the blade. The handle has muted grey-brown scales with blue rivets and a release button, and the butt cap is finished in yellow-gold with reddish tints. Which colour falls on the tip and how much blue or red the blade shows depends on the pattern. On worn copies the coating thins first at the very tip, along the edge and on the raised parts of the bolster.

In Factory New the marble coating is complete along the whole blade, including the thin tip. The bolster keeps its smooth blue-purple sheen, and the gold butt cap has no visible marks. At normal distance in game the knife looks the same as the clean copy on the image. Copies closer to the top of the range may show a barely visible speck near the tip on close inspection.

What to check before buying

• Check the pattern on the inspect screen, because the balance of red, yellow and blue and the colour of the tip change from copy to copy.
• Look at the float position within the wear range, since lower floats keep the tip cleaner.
• Inspect the tip and the blade edge for scratches, as these areas wear first.
• Check whether the copy has a name tag and whether it is StatTrak™, as both affect how the item is listed.
