Fade gives the classic Bayonet a chrome base under transparent airbrushed paints that blend through a color gradient, so the metal shifts hue along the blade instead of wearing one tone. How far the fade runs and where the colors fall is unique to each copy, making full, evenly distributed fades the ones to chase.
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.
