★ Shadow Daggers | Marble Fade (Factory New)

The ★ Shadow Daggers | Marble Fade (Factory New, FN) is a Covert ★ knife finish built from black and silver metallic paints marbleized together and candy coated in three colors. Factory New sits at the low end of the float scale, the cleanest grade this finish comes in, so the swirl reads with maximum clarity across both blades.

Design

Marble Fade layers black and silver metallic paint into a marbleizing medium, then finishes it with a three-color candy coat, so every pair carries its own unique swirl arrangement. It carries the flavor line "The blade is made of many colors, but soon it all looks red."

★ Shadow Daggers | Marble Fade (Factory New) Float and Wear

This finish is float-capped between 0.00 and 0.08, so only Factory New and Minimal Wear (MW) ever exist — it never wears past a near-mint look. Factory New occupies the low end of that band, roughly 0.00–0.07 on the float scale, keeping the marbled swirl at its crispest and most legible.

Shadow Daggers | Marble Fade Rarity

Rarity: Covert ★ — a rare special ("knife") item, the gold-tier rare drop that sits above every ordinary weapon grade in a case. Pulling this pair at all is the scarce part, well before wear or swirl come into play.

Shadow Daggers | Marble Fade Case and Collection

This finish drops from both the Spectrum Case and the Spectrum 2 Case. The rare-special ("knife") tier as a whole lands at roughly 0.26% per case opening, so most buyers pick up a pair on the market rather than chasing that pull.

Shadow Daggers Marble Fade Patterns

Marble Fade's swirl is set by the paint seed, and collectors chase specific arrangements rather than a single percentage. The grail is "Fire & Ice" — red and blue flames meeting cleanly on the edge — which commands a large premium, while "Max Fire" (red-dominant) and "Max Ice" (blue-dominant) patterns are also prized. That swirl is fixed per copy the moment it's generated and never shifts with wear, so the seed alone separates an ordinary pair from a top-tier one.

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.

Shadow Daggers | Marble Fade Price

Factory New sits at the top of the Marble Fade's own price ladder, ahead of Minimal Wear, though the finish overall lands in mid-tier territory among this knife's finishes — still a premium item, just not the priciest way to own a pair of Shadow Daggers. A Fire & Ice pattern 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 cases is the Shadow Daggers Marble Fade in?

It drops from both the Spectrum Case and the Spectrum 2 Case, which are its two source boxes in the drop pool. As with any rare-special pull, most buyers end up getting their pair on the market rather than opening cases looking for one.

What's the best Shadow Daggers Marble Fade pattern?

"Fire & Ice," where red and blue flames meet cleanly on the edge, is the grail and commands a large premium. "Max Fire" (mostly red) and "Max Ice" (mostly blue) are also sought after. The swirl is locked in by the paint seed for the copy's whole life and never changes with wear, so it's worth checking before buying.

Does the Shadow Daggers Marble Fade have StatTrak?

Yes, a StatTrak™ version exists with a permanent confirmed-kill counter that follows the blades through trades and sales. There's no Souvenir version, though — knives simply never appear in Major-tournament souvenir packages, no matter the finish or case.

What are the best gloves for the Shadow Daggers | Marble Fade?

The black-and-silver marbled base with candy-color swirls pairs naturally with darker gloves — black, deep blue, or a red-accented pair if the copy leans toward Fire & Ice. Steer clear of loud, mismatched brights that fight the marbled swirl for attention. For the best Shadow Daggers Marble Fade glove combo, pick up whichever color the individual pair's swirl leans toward.
