Pattern value — M9 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.
