Ursus Knife | Fade

★ Ursus Knife | Fade is a CS2 knife skin featuring a reflective color gradient over a faceted, tanto-style blade. Pale blue and purple transition through pink and red into orange and gold near the guard. Its colorful blade and understated olive-green handle suit players who prefer a bright finish without printed artwork. Factory New and Minimal Wear copies are available, including StatTrak™ versions.

Description

★ Ursus Knife | Fade applies an Anodized Airbrushed finish to a tanto-style survival knife in CS2. The weapon has a faceted blade, full tang and impact pommel, giving its colorful finish a distinctly practical underlying shape. Its fixed construction has no moving parts, keeping the silhouette focused on the blade, guard and handle. The reflective blade carries the visual emphasis, with cool colors at the tip giving way to warmer tones toward the grip. A dark gray guard separates that bright surface from the olive-green handle. Raised dots and curved grooves give the grip visible texture without adding text or artwork. The combination suits players building a colorful loadout while retaining subdued details around the hand. Buyers comparing this knife can separate standard and StatTrak listings, then examine the exterior, exact float value and appearance of each copy.

History and Origin

The Ursus Knife | Fade was released on August 1, 2018, during CS:GO's Horizon Case Skins update. Valve created the finish rather than a community designer. The Horizon Case was its release container, establishing the original case-opening route for obtaining the knife. The Danger Zone Case is another container that can produce this finish, giving buyers a separate case option today. Valve retired the rare drop pool on December 17, 2025. As of October 9, 2026, neither the Horizon Case nor the Danger Zone Case receives new in-game drops. Existing cases can still be bought and opened, while finished knives remain available through marketplace purchases and player-to-player trades.

Finish Style

The Fade finish uses translucent airbrushed colors over a chrome foundation, allowing the blade to retain a reflective appearance. Pale blue and purple occupy the tip before the gradient moves into pink and red. Orange and gold sit closer to the guard, creating a warm end to the color transition. Bright highlights follow the cutting edge and the short serrated section near the handle. A darker strip along the blade's upper edge adds contrast against the brighter central surface. The blade's faceted shape gives those reflections defined edges rather than a uniformly flat appearance. Beneath it, the dark gray guard provides a restrained break between the colored metal and the grip. The olive-green handle has densely arranged raised dots and curved grooves, with a small gray metal loop at its end. With no visible lettering or artwork, the design relies on color, reflection and contrasting surface textures for its character.

Float Value

The Ursus Knife | Fade has a float value 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 copies. Standard and StatTrak versions are available; version availability is separate from the exterior condition of an individual knife.

Rarity and Popularity

The Ursus Knife | Fade has the Covert rarity grade, separate from its Factory New or Minimal Wear exterior. Its stated chance of appearing from the Horizon Case is 0.0049%, which should not be treated as an odds figure for the Danger Zone Case. Professional players Zeus and xertioN own the skin, providing documented ownership without establishing wider demand or resale speed.

Why it’s Popular:

• Reflective gradient spanning cool and warm colors

• Bright blade contrasted with an understated olive-green handle

• Faceted tanto-style blade with a clean, artwork-free finish

• Standard and StatTrak options for different collecting preferences

Price Range

The live CS2 skin price range for ★ Ursus Knife | Fade is $160.49 to $508.10. These bounds cover the whole item rather than a fixed price for a particular exterior or version. Factory New and Minimal Wear listings provide different condition choices within the skin's restricted float range. Standard and StatTrak copies should be compared separately, since the version is an additional listing attribute beyond exterior condition. Before deciding to buy or sell, compare the exact float, version and asking price of otherwise relevant listings.

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 Horizon Case or Danger Zone Case for a chance at the Ursus Knife | Fade. Neither case receives new drops, but existing cases can still be bought on the market and opened. The stated Horizon Case chance is 0.0049%, so opening a case is not a direct purchase of this specific knife.

3. Buy on the Steam Community Market

The Ursus Knife | Fade can be bought on the Steam Community Market as an existing skin rather than pursued through case openings. Look for the desired Factory New or Minimal Wear exterior and distinguish standard listings from StatTrak versions. Compare the available listing details before choosing a copy.

4. Trade with Other Players

The Ursus Knife | Fade can also be obtained through a player-to-player trade involving an existing copy. Check the knife's exterior, float value and StatTrak status before agreeing on the exchange. Trading selects a particular skin instead of relying on a case opening to produce this finish.

Trading and Investment Considerations

Neither source case receives new drops, although opening existing Horizon and Danger Zone cases can still add knives to circulation. Ownership by Zeus and xertioN provides visibility, but it does not establish current buyer demand or how quickly a seller can complete a trade. Practical comparisons should distinguish Factory New from Minimal Wear and standard from StatTrak, without assuming a dependable short-term price trend.

Reasons it Holds Value

• Source cases no longer receive new drops

• Documented ownership by Zeus and xertioN

• Distinctive reflective Fade color gradient

• Standard and StatTrak collecting options

The editorial investment rating is medium-to-good, supported by retired source-case drops, documented professional ownership and distinct version choices. That assessment does not establish a price trend or promise returns. The main risk is uncertain future demand, while existing case openings can continue adding finished knives to the market.
