Fade skins are some of the most sought-after items in CS2, and for very good reason. They\u2019re vibrant and unique, and each features a beautiful gradient pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"868\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/hellcase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HEADRND-13365-1.png\" alt=\"CS2 (CS:GO) Fade skins featuring Karambit, AWP, and Glock-18 with vibrant gradient patterns.

And yes, the color distribution is exactly what affects the value of a Fade skin the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_Fade_Percentage_Values_in_CS2_Fade_Skins\"><\/span>What Are Fade Percentage Values in CS2 Fade Skins?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most CS:GO skin patterns are mathematical miracles. Depending on the CS:GO pattern index, a particular variant of a skin can look way different from the rest of the line-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same goes for the Fade family, one of the most valuable collection of CS:GO skin patterns. The term &#8220;Fade percentage&#8221; in CS2\/CS:GO means how much of the weapon is covered by the colorful gradient pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It ranges from 1% to 100%, and it\u2019s directly affected by the skin\u2019s pattern ID. As you might have probably guessed, the 100% Fade is the rarest and the most expensive type of Fade skins. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to know how to check Fade percentage. Now, let\u2019s talk details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a Full Fade &amp; 99% Fade?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Full Fade (100%) is undeniably the most valuable variant of Fade patterns. Maximum color coverage with perfect gradient distribution. In fact, it\u2019s so rare that each knife type has specific pattern numbers that qualify as Full Fade. There are also \u201cFake Full Fades\u201d. But, you know, it won\u2019t cut when you know the difference is there. Here\u2019s the table with CS:GO pattern indexes of Full Fade patterns:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Karambit, Talon Knife<\/td><td>16, 129, 146, 152, 241, 281, 292, 332, 344, 359, 393, 412, 541, 602, 628, 649, 673, 688, 701, 743, 777, 792, 918, 994<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Kukri Knife<\/td><td>34, 41, 87, 93, 105, 205, 256, 326, 341, 348, 403, 468, 520, 521, 527, 575, 576, 583, 601, 636, 648, 651, 668, 714, 742, 763, 807, 892, 897, 910, 911, 944, 961, 975<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Navaja Knife<\/td><td>41, 87, 93, 205, 326, 341, 348, 403, 468, 520, 527, 575, 583, 601, 636, 651, 742, 763, 807, 897, 910, 911, 961<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Flip Knife<\/td><td>41, 87, 93, 205, 326, 341, 348, 403, 468, 520, 521, 527, 575, 601, 636, 651, 668, 714, 763, 807, 848, 897, 910, 911, 961<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Gut Knife<\/td><td>41, 87, 93, 326, 341, 403, 468, 520, 521, 575, 636, 651, 763, 897, 910, 911, 961<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Bowie Knife<\/td><td>34, 41, 87, 93, 105, 205, 256, 326, 341, 348, 403, 468, 520, 521, 527, 575, 576, 583, 601, 636, 648, 651, 668, 714, 742, 763, 807, 892, 897, 910, 911, 944, 961, 975<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Huntsman Knife<\/td><td>41, 87, 93, 205, 326, 341, 348, 403, 468, 520, 521, 527, 575, 601, 636, 651, 668, 714, 763, 807, 892, 897, 910, 911, 961<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Falchion Knife<\/td><td>41, 87, 93, 326, 341, 403, 468, 520, 521, 527, 575, 636, 651, 763, 897, 910, 911, 961<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Bayonet<\/td><td>34, 41, 87, 93, 205, 256, 326, 341, 348, 403, 468, 520, 521, 527, 575, 583, 601, 636, 651, 668, 714, 742, 763, 807, 848, 892, 897, 910, 911, 944, 961<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>M9 Bayonet<\/td><td>41, 87, 93, 205, 326, 341, 348, 403, 422, 468, 520, 521, 527, 575, 583, 601, 636, 651, 668, 714, 742, 763, 807, 892, 897, 910, 911, 961<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Butterfly, Classic, Nomad, Paracord, Skeleton, Stiletto, Survival, Ursus, Shadow Daggers<\/td><td>41, 87, 93, 205, 326, 341, 348, 403, 468, 520, 527, 575, 583, 601, 636, 651, 742, 763, 807, 892, 897, 910, 911, 961<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>AWP<\/td><td>16, 129, 146, 152, 241, 281, 292, 332, 344, 359, 393, 412, 541, 602, 628, 649, 673, 688, 701, 743, 777, 792, 918, 994<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Glock-18<\/td><td>34, 41, 87, 93, 205, 256, 326, 341, 348, 403, 468, 520, 521, 527, 575, 583, 601, 636, 651, 668, 714, 742, 763, 807, 848, 892, 897, 910, 911, 944, 961<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>*Source: <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/steamcommunity.com\/sharedfiles\/filedetails\/?id=2875620478\" rel=\"nofollow\"><em>https:\/\/steamcommunity.com\/sharedfiles\/filedetails\/?id=2875620478<\/em><\/a><em>&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 99% Fades, which are often called &#8220;Fake Full Fade&#8221; knives, are nearly identical to Full Fade. Still, there are slight differences, which are harder to notice. The good news is they\u2019re almost the same in value but at a lower price. So, if you\u2019re on a stricter budget, getting a 99% Fade or a knife with a lower Fade percentage value is a nice-to-have alternative worth considering. If you\u2019re wondering how to check Fade percentage, we\u2019ll get to that later, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other percentages of Fade CS2 Skins<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re guessing there should be lower CS2 (CS:GO) Fade percentage values, you\u2019re guessing it right. All Fade skins go as low as 80%. That\u2019s right, not 1% or 0%. Let\u2019s see what you can expect from lower tiers of Fade percentage in CS2\/CS:GO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">95%+ Fade<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The 95%+ Fade patterns look delicious. There is almost no gray, or it\u2019s featured in less visible areas. This way, it does not hurt the overall appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">90%+ Fade<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to 90%+ Fade skins, there\u2019s either just a little of gray, or a whole lot of it. To be more specific, up to \u00bc of a weapon\u2019s surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">85% and lower<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Going from 80% to 85%, these Fade skins contain the most gray color. It\u2019s not a big deal for some players. The blades still look good, though they\u2019re not quite as vibrant as other variants. The CS2 market is kinda full of these skins, so they\u2019re not that valuable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fade_Patterns_and_Their_Distinctive_Colors\"><\/span>Fade Patterns and Their Distinctive Colors<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s yellow, there\u2019s purple, there\u2019s pink\u2026 Ugh, and then there\u2019s ugly gray! Well, nothing in this world is perfect. Unsurprisingly, Fade skins in CS2 have their minor imperfections as well. In this case, it\u2019s the gray color in the patterns, and its presence can drastically lower the Fade pattern\u2019s price, especially when there\u2019s a lot of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Check_the_Fade_Percentage_of_CS2_Skins\"><\/span>How to Check the Fade Percentage of CS2 Skins?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So, how to check how much Fade a knife is? It turns out that checking the Fade percentage value is just as simple as <a href=\"https:\/\/hellcase.com\/blog\/skinopedia\/csgo-skin-float-guide-unveiling-skin-wear-levels-impact\/\">checking the CS2 (CS:GO) float<\/a> of a skin. There are a few different ways you can do it, and we\u2019ll explore each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using Special Tools and Calculators<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to the passionate CS2 community members who work tirelessly on a bunch of tools and other cool things, we\u2019re now able to check CS2 (CS:GO) float and calculate a skin\u2019s fade percentage with just <em>a few clicks<\/em>. And you can do it, too. All you need is an online CS2\/CS:GO Fade Checker tool like <a href=\"https:\/\/cs2-markets.com\/fade-percentage-calculator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this one<\/a>. Or <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/chescos\/csgo-fade-percentage-calculator\">this one<\/a>. Our tip would be to cross-reference multiple tools for accurate info, though most are accurate enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learning From Pattern IDs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>CS2\/CS:GO Fade Checker tools are not the only ways of estimating a Fade skin\u2019s value and worth. If you have a good memory (or are just stubborn enough), you can memorize all the Fade line-up pattern indexes, becoming a self-sufficient CS pattern checker yourself. That sounds hugely cool, but it is not so realistic. So, the next option is good, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for Easier Visual Inspection of Fade Skins<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing you should watch out for is the amount of gray and gray-ish areas on the weapons. After all, this is exactly what brings down the value of a Fade skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Range_of_Fade_Percentage_Values_for_CS2_Skins\"><\/span>Range of Fade Percentage Values for CS2 Skins<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve mentioned that in CS2 (CS:GO), Fade percentage goes from 80% up to 100%. Did you believe us? Got you! Let\u2019s see what this is all about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fade Value Range of Falchion Knives<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While most assume that CS2 Fade percentages max out at 100%, there&#8217;s more to the story. It actually goes up to 110%, but not for all Fade skins. It\u2019s the Falchion knives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When inspecting in-game, you&#8217;ll notice how the colors wrap around the handle, creating a more comprehensive fade effect than what&#8217;s possible with other knives. That said, it&#8217;s important to note that a Falchion Knife doesn&#8217;t need to reach 110% to be considered a &#8220;Full Fade.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The traditional 100% Fade label still applies to patterns that achieve complete blade coverage with optimal color distribution. The handle fade is considered nothing but a bonus feature unique to this knife model. A bonus for an additional hundreds of bucks, anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fade Percentage Values of Karambit and Talon Knives<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"868\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/hellcase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HEADRND-13365-4.png\" alt=\"CS2 (CS:GO) Karambit Knives Fade showcasing 90% and 100% fade percentage variations.

You know how to check fade percentage, but there are other things to consider. For that, we have a few tips for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Consider Not Just Fade Percentage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, using a CS2\/CS:GO Fade checker is a must before buying or selling a Fade skin. However, they&#8217;re just the starting point. You should also pay attention to the skin\u2019s wear level. Although all Fade skins only come in Factory New (0.00-0.07) and Minimal Wear (0.07-0.08) conditions, wear visibility can vary a lot within these narrow float ranges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pay Attention to Pattern Index<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Market veterans often memorize these &#8220;golden&#8221; pattern numbers, and you should, too. Two identical CS2 fade percentages can have vastly different values based on their pattern numbers and the weapon to which they\u2019re applied. To make things easier, just reference the table with the Full Fade skins we shared at the beginning of this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Buy Fade Skins on Secure Websites<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The high value of Fade skins makes them prime targets for scammers. Stick to reputable marketplaces with proven track records. Steam Market remains the safest but most expensive option. Third-party sites can offer better deals but require extra caution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an alternative, you can try your luck with reputable CS2 case-opening websites like Hellcase. Whether you&#8217;re looking for your first Fade skin or adding to your collection, Hellcase has a lot of exclusive cases featuring Fade skins with fair odds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"hellc-penultimate-h2\" id=\"hellc-3466444494\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hellcase.com\/#free-giveaway\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"wp-block-content-banner-image-upload-block hellcase-content-banner\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hellcase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/extra-time_868x100.png\" alt=\" new giveaway Big banner\"><div class=\"hellcase-content-banner__label\">Advertisement<\/div><div class=\"hellcase-content-banner__overlay\"><\/div><\/a><\/div><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wrapping_Up\"><\/span>Wrapping Up!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whew, exploring all of the secrets of the Fade skins took some time, but the journey was worth it.
