The Kukri's forward-curved fighting blade gives the Fade an unusually long, dramatic run of color, with transparent paints airbrushed over chrome so the metal shines through a yellow-into-pink-into-purple gradient. As a finish on one of CS2's newer melee additions, a full clean fade across that big belly is the version players hunt.
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.
