★ Navaja Knife | Fade (Factory New)

The ★ Navaja Knife | Fade (Factory New) is a Covert ★ knife finish, a chrome base coat airbrushed with transparent paints that blend into one another across the blade. Factory New is the cleanest of the finish's two grades, catching that fade at its most saturated.

Design

There's no fixed graphic here — a chrome base gets airbrushed with transparent paints that fade into each other along the blade, and exactly how far that fade spreads varies copy to copy. It carries the flavor line "This isn't just a weapon, it's a conversation piece."

★ Navaja Knife | Fade (Factory New) Float and Wear

Fade is float-capped between 0.00 and 0.08, so only Factory New and Minimal Wear exist for this finish — it never ages into a visibly worn look on any copy. Factory New sits at the very bottom of that narrow range, giving the sharpest read on the blade's edges and on wherever the fade actually lands. In float terms, this grade covers roughly 0.00–0.07.

Navaja Knife | Fade Rarity

Rarity: Covert ★ — not an ordinary Covert weapon skin, but the gold-tier rare special, the "knife" slot that outranks every regular grade in its case. Landing one at all is the scarce part, well before wear comes into it.

Navaja Knife | Fade Case and Collection

This finish isn't a one-collection drop — it comes from both the Horizon Case and the Danger Zone Case. The rare-special ("knife") tier as a whole lands at roughly 0.26% per case opening, which is why most buyers pick theirs up on the market rather than chase that pull directly.

Navaja Knife Fade Percentage

For a Fade, "best pattern" really means Fade percentage — how far the purple-pink-yellow spectrum stretches across the blade. A full 100% Fade is the grail here, carrying a clear premium over the far more common 90-95% copies. That percentage is locked in by the paint seed the moment the skin is generated, so it never changes with wear. There's no "blue gem" chase on this finish — a fuller, more even spread is simply what the best copies have.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ version of this knife exists and tracks confirmed kills permanently, carrying that count through any trade or sale. There's no Souvenir version at all — knives are never included in Major-tournament souvenir packages, regardless of case or finish.

Navaja Knife | Fade Price

Factory New sits ahead of Minimal Wear on the Fade's own price ladder, landing in the mid-tier range among this knife's finishes overall — a solid but not top-shelf way to own a Navaja Knife, though a fuller fade percentage can push an individual copy well past that baseline. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

What case is the Navaja Knife Fade in?

It drops from both the Horizon Case and the Danger Zone Case rather than a single box. Since the rare-special ("knife") tier pulls at roughly 0.26% per case regardless of which one you open, most buyers find it faster to just grab one on the market instead.

What's the best Navaja Knife Fade percentage?

A full 100% Fade is the grail — it carries a clear premium over the much more common 90-95% copies. That percentage comes from the paint seed and is fixed for the copy's entire life, so it never shifts as the knife wears; check the percentage before buying rather than judging by price alone.

What are the best gloves for the Navaja Knife | Fade?

Since the fade runs through warm pinks, purples, and yellows depending on the copy, gloves in a matching warm or iridescent tone tie a loadout together nicely, while a neutral black pair lets the blade's fade stay the focal point. For the best Navaja Knife Fade glove combo, lean into those warm tones rather than clashing against them.
