Fade airbrushes layered transparent paints over a chrome base on the Flip Knife, so the colors gradate smoothly while the metal glows through underneath. The back-swept Persian blade shows the gradient cleanly along its single sweeping edge. Higher fade percentages, with more of the bright color reaching the tip, are the ones collectors prize.
Fade skins show a gradient that runs across the weapon. The paint seed controls how far the gradient travels, expressed as a fade percentage. A higher percentage means the full colour spread is visible, which collectors pay more for.
Full 100% Fades, and on some knives "full fade" with a specific colour order, sit at the top of the range. The percentage is not in the item name, so it is read from the seed via a fade calculator before buying.
