Shadow Daggers | Fade

★ Shadow Daggers | Fade is a CS2 knife skin with colorful gradients across its paired blades and bright pink handles. Yellow and orange near the handles transition through pink and red toward purple and blue tips. Its clean, reflective appearance suits players building a colorful loadout without intricate artwork. Factory New and Minimal Wear copies are available, including StatTrak™ versions.

Description

★ Shadow Daggers | Fade brings the Fade finish to a pair of push daggers in CS2. The compact blade-and-handle design gives the color treatment a distinctive shape, with open cutouts visible in the pink grips. Across the blades, warm colors near the handles shift into cooler colors at the tips. A chrome base beneath transparent paint gives the finish its reflective character. The uncluttered design suits players who want color to carry the appearance rather than printed graphics or detailed illustrations. Documented owners include professional players arrozdoce and captainMo, although ownership alone does not establish market demand. Buyers can choose between standard and StatTrak versions while comparing the available exterior and exact float value. For a particular copy, the listing image helps show the visible color layout alongside those technical details.

History and Origin

The Shadow Daggers | Fade was released in CS:GO on September 17, 2015. It arrived with the Shadow Case through the update titled "Shadow Case Skins". Valve created the finish rather than a community designer, making its authorship part of the item's original release history. Its visual foundation combines a chrome base with transparent airbrushed colors, establishing the gradient treatment seen on the blades. Valve retired the rare drop pool on December 17, 2025, ending new Shadow Case drops. Existing Shadow Cases can still be bought on the market and opened, so retirement did not remove that acquisition route. Today, direct marketplace purchases and player trades also provide ways to obtain existing copies without opening the case.

Finish Style

Fade uses the Anodized Airbrushed finish style, with transparent colors layered over a chrome base. The blades begin with yellow and orange near their junctions with the handles. Pink and red occupy the transition toward purple and blue at the tips. Bright white highlights cross the blade faces, emphasizing the reflective surface beneath the paint. Thin silver-colored edges remain visible around the blades, framing the color treatment. Both handles are bright pink, with large open cutouts and curved outer edges. Small dark markings near the blade-and-handle junctions add restrained detail without interrupting the overall gradient. The result is a clean, uncluttered finish whose visual character comes mainly from smooth color transitions and reflective highlights.

Float Value

The Shadow Daggers | Fade has a float range of 0.00 to 0.08. Its available exteriors are Factory New and Minimal Wear, with no Field-Tested, Well-Worn or Battle-Scarred versions. StatTrak versions are available, with version choice remaining separate from the item's exterior condition.

Rarity and Popularity

The Shadow Daggers | Fade carries the Covert rarity grade. Its stated chance of appearing from the Shadow Case is 0.02%, making a case opening an uncertain route to this specific finish. Professional ownership includes arrozdoce and captainMo, but that visibility should not be treated as proof of resale demand.

Why it’s Popular:

• Smooth gradients combine warm colors with purple and blue tips

• Bright pink handles complement colorful loadouts

• Reflective chrome styling keeps the design clean and uncluttered

• StatTrak availability offers an alternative to the standard version

Price Range

The live CS2 skin price range for Shadow Daggers | Fade is $125.67 to $329.30. These bounds cover the whole item rather than a fixed exterior or version. Compare Factory New and Minimal Wear listings separately, then check whether each copy is standard or StatTrak. The exact float value and listing image help distinguish copies within the same exterior. Buyers and sellers should assess each listing on its own details rather than assuming every copy belongs near either endpoint.

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 the Shadow Case

Open the Shadow Case for a chance to obtain Shadow Daggers | Fade, with a stated probability of 0.02%. The case no longer drops, but existing cases can still be bought on the market and opened. Opening one does not guarantee this particular finish.

3. Buy on the Steam Community Market

Buy Shadow Daggers | Fade through a listing on the Steam Community Market to select an existing copy instead of relying on a case result. Compare the listed exterior and StatTrak status, and check the float where it is available.

4. Trade with Other Players

Shadow Daggers | Fade can also be obtained through trades with other players. Compare the offered copy's exterior, float value and StatTrak status before agreeing on the exchange. Verify that the item details match the copy being discussed rather than relying only on its name.

Trading and Investment Considerations

The Shadow Case no longer receives new drops, but opening existing cases can still add copies of this skin. Professional ownership provides visibility, while sustained demand and a reliable price trend remain uncertain. Before deciding to buy, sell or trade, compare the exterior, exact float and StatTrak status rather than treating all available copies as interchangeable.

Reasons it Holds Value

• No new Shadow Case drops

• Documented ownership by professional players

• Distinctive multicolor Fade finish

• StatTrak option alongside standard versions

The investment rating is medium, balancing retired case supply and documented professional ownership against uncertain future demand. Existing case openings can still introduce additional copies, and there is insufficient price-history evidence to support a predictable growth claim. It is best approached as a cosmetic purchase with resale considerations, not a dependable short-term flip.
