Flip Knife | Fade (Factory New)
Flip knives sport a Persian-style back-swept blade with an acute point. While the point itself may be fragile, the overall design of the flip knife's design is surprisingly durable. It has been painted by airbrushing transparent paints that fade together over a chrome base coat.

Description
The Flip Knife | Fade is a popular CS2 skin known for its eye-catching “fade” coloration and iconic knife silhouette. As a CS:GO-era design, it carries over into CS2 with updated presentation and rendering for the knife model, keeping the same highly recognizable gradient effect across the blade and handle.
As a Covert rarity item, Flip Knife | Fade is considered one of the more desirable categories of skins in the game. While exact drop chances are not publicly confirmed for every case opening scenario, Covert knives are generally far less common than lower rarities, making the skin a frequent target for collectors and players who want a standout weapon.
This skin is available in two wear states: Factory New and Minimal Wear. StatTrak is available, allowing you to track kills with the knife using the StatTrak counter. Souvenir versions are not available, and the skin is not listed as found in any specific “collections” set.
Visually, the Fade finish is defined by its smooth transition of vivid colors—typically moving from deeper tones into lighter, more saturated hues—creating a gradient look that changes with view angles and lighting. With paint index 38 and the CS2 model implementation, the skin preserves the signature fade pattern collectors expect, while modern CS2 visuals enhance clarity and texture detail.
To obtain Flip Knife | Fade, you’ll typically look to CS:GO/operation-era weapon cases where it has been featured, including the CS:GO Weapon Case, Operation Phoenix Weapon Case, Revolver Case, Operation Bravo Case, eSports 2014 Summer Case, Operation Vanguard Weapon Case, eSports 2013 Winter Case, eSports 2013 Case, Winter Offensive Weapon Case, CS:GO Weapon Case 2, and CS:GO Weapon Case 3. The skin also has a stated float range of 0–0.08, with Factory New and Minimal Wear being the most commonly sought conditions.
In the community, the Flip Knife | Fade is widely admired for its balance of prestige and visual impact. The combination of a Covert knife rarity, the classic flip-knife design, and the high-impact fade pattern makes it a favorite for both entertaining “showcase” loadouts and serious players aiming for a distinctive look in CS2.
