Fade 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.

Factory New (FN) ★ M9 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.

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 ★ M9 Bayonet | Fade commands premium prices due to several factors: First, knife skins are the rarest drop category in CS2, with approximately 0.26% chance from case openings. It can be unboxed from the CS:GO Weapon Case. The Fade finish is particularly sought-after for its distinctive appearance, and supply is inherently limited while demand remains high from collectors and players.
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 ★ M9 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.

Past performance doesn't guarantee future returns, but the ★ M9 Bayonet | Fade has maintained steady trading interest. Diversifying across multiple items typically reduces risk.
