★ Ursus Knife | Marble Fade (Minimal Wear)

The ★ Ursus Knife | Marble Fade (Minimal Wear) is a Covert-rarity knife finish showing the same candy-coated marble swirl over black and silver metallic paints. With float capped near zero, this is the more worn of only two grades this finish comes in, and the difference from Factory New is minimal.

Design

The marbled swirl comes from black and silver metallic paints run through a marbleizing medium and candy coated in three colors, not a fixed pattern. It carries the flavor line "The blade is made of many colors, but soon it all looks red." Each copy's paint seed decides how those colors arrange, and a clean "Fire & Ice" split between red and blue is the most sought-after result.

★ Ursus Knife | Marble Fade (Minimal Wear) Float and Wear

This finish is capped to a tight 0.00–0.08 float band, existing only as Factory New and Minimal Wear, and even the more worn of the two stays close to a near-mint look. Minimal Wear covers the top of that capped range, clipped to the finish's own maximum, running roughly 0.07–0.08.

Ursus Knife | Marble Fade Rarity

This finish is Covert ★, the rare-special classification given to knives rather than the usual weapon rarity tiers. That status holds at either of this finish's two grades.

Ursus Knife | Marble Fade Case and Collection

Marble Fade comes from the Prisma Case and the Prisma 2 Case. The odds of pulling any knife sit at about 0.26% from either source.

Ursus Knife | Marble Fade Patterns

The paint seed alone decides which swirl arrangement a copy gets, and that's the entire basis of "best pattern" on this finish. "Fire & Ice" — a clean meeting of red and blue flames on the edge — is the grail, and "Max Fire" and "Max Ice" copies are prized close behind it. Because the pattern never shifts with wear, a great swirl on a Minimal Wear copy holds the same value it would on any grade.

StatTrak & Souvenir

Alongside the standard knife, a StatTrak version exists that tracks confirmed kills permanently once it starts counting. No Souvenir version has ever existed, since knives are excluded from Major-tournament souvenir packages entirely.

Ursus Knife | Marble Fade Price

Minimal Wear is the more affordable of this finish's two grades, sitting just below Factory New. Marble Fade overall still ranks upper-mid among this knife's finishes, so even this grade is a pricier pick, especially with a strong Fire & Ice or Max Fire/Max Ice arrangement. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Does Minimal Wear look much different from Factory New here?

Barely — both grades fall within the finish's tight 0.00–0.08 float cap, so the marbled swirl and candy coat look nearly identical between them. Most of the price gap comes down to grade rarity rather than a visible change.

What's the best Ursus Knife Marble Fade pattern?

"Fire & Ice" is the grail pattern — red and blue flames meeting cleanly on the edge — and it commands a large premium over ordinary swirls. "Max Fire" and "Max Ice" arrangements follow behind it. That pattern is fixed by the seed regardless of which of the two available grades a copy is.

Is Minimal Wear the cheaper way to get a good pattern?

Yes — it's the lower-priced of the finish's two grades while looking essentially the same as Factory New. What actually drives value here is the swirl arrangement on the specific copy, not which of the two grades it falls into.
