Bayonet Fade Guide
The Bayonet Fade comes in 21 different fade percentages. These all are between 80% and 100% fade.
There are five main ones which are 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, and 100%. The percentages are indications of how much of the knife is covered in Fade.
80% is the worst, where the grey on the blade is seen clearly. 100% is the best and is often called Full Fade. 99% and 98% is called Fake Full Fade, this is because they are nearly identical to Full Fade.
To see if a Bayonet Fade really is Full Fade, you need to check the edges, the purple needs to go far enough.

Pattern Details
The Knives blade is chromed and coated with transparent paint, this allows the colors to interact with the lights and creates a nice gradient.
The pattern has three main colors of purple, pink and yellow with some unpainted parts on some seeds which appear grey.
This all appears in different degrees depending on what pattern index the knife has, the more of the blade is faded the more its worth.
The guard and the handle of the knife always remain uncolored.
Floats impact
The float values on Bayonet Fade go between 0.00 to 0.08. This makes it only available in factory new or minimal wear
On higher floats scratches appear along the cutting edge of the knife as well as on the spine. Often mostly closer to the guard.
