★ Survival Knife | Marble Fade (Factory New)

The ★ Survival Knife | Marble Fade (Factory New, FN) swirls a black-and-silver metallic base with three candy-coated colors, marbleized into a gradient that's different on every copy. Factory New sits at the low end of this finish's narrow float range, so the swirl reads at its sharpest.

Design

The finish starts with black and silver metallic paint run through a marbleizing medium, then gets candy-coated in three colors on top, giving every copy a one-of-a-kind swirled gradient rather than a fixed pattern. It comes with an in-game line that fits the design: "The blade is made of many colors, but soon it all looks red."

★ Survival Knife | Marble Fade (Factory New) Float and Wear

The Marble Fade never floats past 0.08, so it only exists in Factory New and Minimal Wear (MW) — no true worn grade is possible. Factory New covers the 0.00–0.07 band of that range, the finish's cleanest available state, where the metallic base and swirl colors both look their most vivid.

Survival Knife | Marble Fade Rarity

Rarity: Covert ★ — a rare special ("knife") item, the gold-tier rare drop from its case, well above an ordinary Covert weapon finish.

Survival Knife | Marble Fade Case and Collection

This finish is pulled from the Fever Case. Like every gold-tier knife, it drops at roughly 0.26% from that case — an odds figure tied to the item tier, not to this specific swirl.

Survival Knife | Marble Fade Patterns

The swirl on a Marble Fade is set by the paint seed, and collectors chase specific arrangements over others. The grail pattern is "Fire & Ice" — red and blue flames meeting cleanly along the edge — and it commands a large premium over an average roll. "Max Fire" (red-dominant) and "Max Ice" (blue-dominant) patterns are also prized. Whatever the seed lands on, it's fixed for the life of the copy and never shifts with wear, so the arrangement itself is what separates a grail Marble Fade from a common one.

StatTrak & Souvenir

Both a regular version and a StatTrak version exist for this knife, the latter carrying a permanent confirmed-kill counter. There's no Souvenir Marble Fade — Souvenir items only come from Major-tournament packages, and knives have never been distributed that way.

Survival Knife | Marble Fade Price

Factory New leads the Marble Fade's own price ladder ahead of Minimal Wear, and overall this finish sits mid-tier among the knife's finishes — a genuinely premium item, just not one of the flashiest grail picks. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

What is the best Survival Knife Marble Fade pattern?

"Fire & Ice" is the grail — clean red and blue flame shapes meeting along the blade's edge — and it sells for a large premium over an average swirl. "Max Fire" and "Max Ice" (heavily red or blue copies) are also sought after. The pattern is fixed by the paint seed for good and never changes with float or trading.

Why is there no Field-Tested (FT) Marble Fade?

Because the finish is float-capped at 0.08. That's well short of what a Field-Tested grade requires, so the game never generates a copy worn enough — Factory New and Minimal Wear are the only two grades this finish can exist in.

What are the best gloves for the Survival Knife | Marble Fade?

Since the swirl leans on whichever colors dominate your specific copy, match the gloves to that: a red-leaning Fire & Ice or Max Fire pairs with red gloves, while a blue-leaning Max Ice suits blue ones. For the best Survival Knife Marble Fade glove combo, pick the pair that echoes your copy's dominant flame color rather than a generic neutral set.
