★ Talon Knife | Marble Fade (Factory New)

Skin overview

★ Talon Knife | Marble Fade pairs a curved karambit-style blade with a multicoloured candy coat of red, yellow and blue laid over dark marble veining. In Factory New the gradient keeps its full gloss, so the transitions between colours look smooth and the black marbling stays crisp. The ivory handle with brass rivets frames the blade and makes the colours stand out further.

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.

Appearance in Factory New

The curved blade carries the main gradient: the tip and edge glow in red and orange, a yellow band runs through the middle, and the area near the spine and base shifts into deep blue and violet. Dark marbled veins run across all colours, giving the surface a stone-like texture under the candy coat. The saw-tooth ridges and three round holes along the spine break up the colour field, while the finger ring at the pommel picks up pink and red tones. The handle is ivory with brass rivets and is not painted, so it stays light in every copy. On worn copies the anodized layer is first affected at the blade tip, the cutting edge and the serrated spine.

Factory New copies show the candy coat intact along the whole blade, from the red tip to the blue base. The serrated spine and the edge keep their colour without light spots. In game the gradient looks saturated and glossy in both inspect and normal view. The ivory handle and brass rivets look clean, as they do in every grade.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at the pattern, because the share of red, yellow and blue on the blade tip differs from copy to copy and strongly changes the look.
• Check where the float sits in the range, since a low float Factory New and a Minimal Wear copy differ only in fine details at the tip.
• Inspect the blade tip and the serrated spine, as these are the first places where the coat shows marks.
• Note whether the knife is StatTrak™ and whether it carries a name tag, as both affect how it fits your inventory.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the gradient and marbling in their cleanest form.
• Players who often use the inspect animation and want a spotless tip and spine.
• Conclusion: the choice for a buyer who wants this knife without compromise.
