Bayonet | Marble Fade

★ Bayonet | Marble Fade is a CS2 knife skin with a metallic, multicolored blade and understated handle hardware. Cloudy patches blend purple and blue near the tip into yellow and orange-red toward the guard. The finish suits players who want a colorful blade without matching decoration across the entire knife. Factory New, Minimal Wear, and StatTrak™ options are available.

Description

★ Bayonet | Marble Fade applies a vivid marble finish to the Bayonet knife in CS2. Its defining feature is an uneven blend of colors rather than a solid coating across the blade. The recessed groove and bright edge highlights give the metallic treatment additional visual depth. A muted olive-gray handle and gray guard frame the colorful surface without competing with it. This combination suits bright loadouts while keeping the grip and surrounding hardware visually restrained. Buyers can focus on Factory New and Minimal Wear rather than searching for exterior categories that this finish does not support. Regular and StatTrak versions provide another choice separate from the knife's cosmetic condition. When comparing copies to buy, sell, or trade, the exact float value and visible blade appearance help distinguish individual listings.

History and Origin

★ Bayonet | Marble Fade was introduced on January 8, 2015, alongside the Chroma Case. Its release accompanied the Chroma Case Skins update. Valve created the finish rather than a community designer. The Chroma 2 Case and Chroma 3 Case also contain this knife, providing acquisition routes beyond its original case. Valve retired the rare drop pool on December 17, 2025. As of October 9, 2026, none of these source cases receives new drops. Existing cases can still be purchased and opened, so retirement affects fresh case supply rather than removing the knife from circulation. Today, marketplaces and player trades offer routes to an existing copy without relying on a case-opening result.

Finish Style

Marble Fade uses the Anodized Multicolored finish style, combining metallic treatment with a layered color effect. Black and silver metallic paints form the base, while a marbleizing process creates irregular shapes beneath the colored coating. A three-color candy coating completes the treatment, producing the blended hues visible across the blade. Dark purple and blue appear near the tip, transitioning toward yellow and orange-red beside the guard. Cloudy patches interrupt these transitions, giving the surface a marbled character instead of cleanly separated color bands. Bright metallic highlights follow the blade edges and recessed groove, drawing attention to those structural details. A small oval opening near the tip creates another visible break within the colored surface. The straight crossguard and end cap remain gray, while the olive-gray handle has raised segmented bands and a fine texture. These plain fittings concentrate the visual interest on the busy blade rather than extending the finish across every part.

Float Value

The float value of ★ Bayonet | Marble Fade ranges from 0.00 to 0.08. It is available in Factory New and Minimal Wear, but never Field-Tested, Well-Worn, or Battle-Scarred. Regular and StatTrak versions exist, and these version choices are separate from exterior condition.

Rarity and Popularity

★ Bayonet | Marble Fade has Covert rarity, regardless of whether a copy is Factory New or Minimal Wear. Its drop chance from the Chroma Case is 0.0085%, a figure that should not be applied to the other source cases. Professional players DANK1NG and syrsoN own this finish, although their ownership does not establish broader buyer demand.

Why it’s Popular:

• Cloudy color transitions give the blade a distinctive marbled appearance

• Metallic highlights emphasize the blade edges and recessed groove

• Understated handle hardware keeps attention on the colorful blade

• Regular and StatTrak versions offer different ownership options

Price Range

The live CS2 skin price range for ★ Bayonet | Marble Fade is $285.01 to $835.80. These bounds cover the whole item, not a fixed exterior or StatTrak version. Compare Factory New and Minimal Wear listings by exact float as well as their stated condition. Keep regular and StatTrak copies distinct when evaluating asking prices, since version is a separate listing attribute. A blade preview also helps buyers choose a visible color layout that suits their preferences.

How to Obtain

1. Buy Directly through Eneba Skins

One of the fastest and most straightforward options is to purchase skins directly through Eneba Skins. You can browse available CS2 skins, compare prices, and choose the items that best fit your budget.

2. Open a Weapon Case

Open a Chroma Case, Chroma 2 Case, or Chroma 3 Case for a chance to obtain this knife. The chance from the Chroma Case is 0.0085%, so an opening does not provide a reliable route to this specific finish. These cases no longer drop, but existing cases can still be bought and opened.

3. Buy on the Steam Community Market

Buy an existing ★ Bayonet | Marble Fade through the Steam Community Market rather than opening a case. Before purchasing, check the exterior and whether the listing is regular or StatTrak, then inspect its float and appearance.

4. Trade with Other Players

An existing copy can also be obtained through a trade with another player. Compare the offered knife's exterior, exact float, and StatTrak status, and inspect its blade appearance before accepting the exchange.

Trading and Investment Considerations

No new source cases drop, but openings of existing cases can still add copies of the knife. Professional ownership provides visibility, while current buyer demand and resale speed remain uncertain. For a buy, sell, or trade decision, compare the available exteriors by exact float, blade appearance, and regular or StatTrak status.

Reasons it Holds Value

• No new drops replenish its source cases

• Documented ownership by DANK1NG and syrsoN

• Distinctive metallic blade with multicolored marble detailing

• Regular and StatTrak options broaden variant choice

The editorial investment rating is medium-to-good, supported by retired source-case drops and documented professional ownership. Those factors justify consideration as a hold, not a promise of appreciation or fast resale. Existing cases can still produce copies, and the premium purchase cost creates risk if buyer demand weakens.
