The Classic Knife Fade has 21 different variations, all between 80% and 100% fade. The main ones are 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, and 100% fade.
These numbers stand for how much of the blade on the knife is faded. 100% is the most and 80% the least (see pictures below).
100% fade is the best, it is also called “Full Fade”. Then there is 99% and 98% which is very similar to 100%. They are called “fake Full Fade”.
You can see how similar they are in the picture below.

Classic Knife Fade
The Classic Knife was added to the game together with the CS20 Case celebrating the twentieth anniversary of Counter-Strike.
The knife is the default knife from previous games and was thus a fitting choice.
It was released on the 18 of October 2019 with the “Cache and Release” update.
A classic knife is one of the new knives but is still considered a medium-high tier knife.
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 patterns 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.
On lower fades the colors do not reach the handle and the only pink is on the edge. On higher fades the colors do reach the handle and more purple is visible.
Floats impact
The float values on Classic Knife Fade go between 0.00 to 0.08. This makes it only available in factory new or minimal wear.
Floats don’t impact the look of the Classic Knife Fade at all, you can only see small scratches on the cutting edge on very high float ones.
The only reason you would want a very good float one is for collector purposes.
