Pattern value — Bayonet | Fade
Paint seed matters on this skinFade percentage — how far the gradient has travelled across the blade, and how much purple reaches the tip. It is a deterministic function of seed and weapon, so it is calculated rather than judged, and every weapon has its own achievable range. 100% is the ceiling; on Glock-18 and AWP the scarce direction is a high-purple "full fade" rather than the raw number.
Typical premium: 100% fade typically adds 30-80% over an average copy of the same wear.

Frequently Asked Questions
Factory New (FN) ★ Bayonet | Fade skins have float values between 0.00-0.07, showing minimal to no visible wear. Minimal Wear (MW) floats range from 0.07-0.15, with slight scratches or fading. This skin has a restricted float range (0.00-0.08), meaning Battle-Scarred versions don't exist. The price gap between FN and MW varies by finish — some designs like the Fade pattern hide wear better than others, making MW versions a strong value alternative.
The ★ Bayonet | Fade sits in the mid-to-high price bracket. It features a distinctive Fade design that stands out in-game and maintains good trading liquidity. For players who main the Bayonet, this skin offers an excellent balance of visual appeal and investment stability compared to budget alternatives.
Float values in CS2 determine a skin's wear level on a scale from 0.00 (perfect) to 1.00 (maximum wear). This is a restricted float skin that can only drop in Factory New or near-FN condition, making all examples relatively clean. Lower float values within any condition category (e.g., 0.01 vs 0.06 in Factory New) result in cleaner appearances and typically command higher prices. For high-value trades, always verify the exact float value using inspection tools.
Prices for the ★ Bayonet | Fade vary across marketplaces due to fees, regional pricing, and seller competition. This skin can be obtained by opening the CS:GO Weapon Case or purchased directly from third-party marketplaces. The Steam Community Market charges 15% fees, while third-party markets like Skinport, DMarket, and Buff163 offer lower prices with 2-10% fees. Compare real-time prices in the market comparison table above to find the best deal.
Investment potential depends on several factors. Knives and gloves historically hold value well due to consistent demand and limited supply. Key considerations: (1) Check the 30-day and 90-day price trends in the charts above; (2) Evaluate overall CS2 market conditions. Past performance doesn't guarantee future returns, but the ★ Bayonet | Fade has maintained steady trading interest. Diversifying across multiple items typically reduces risk.
