Gut Knife | Fade is a Covert-tier knife finish from eight legacy CS:GO cases dating to 2013. Float values are capped at 0.08. Live prices across Buff, Skinport, CSFloat, DMarket and other markets, plus 30-day price history and per-wear listings.
The most notable feature of a gut knife is the gut hook on the spine of the blade. Originally popularized as an aid for field dressing game, the gut hook is also effective at cutting through fibrous materials like rope, webbing, or safety belts with ease. It has been painted by airbrushing transparent paints that fade together over a chrome base coat.

Drops from eight legacy cases including the CS:GO Weapon Case through Operation Phoenix Weapon Case. None are currently in active rotation.

Rare Special / Covert-tier knife with roughly 1 in 384 drop odds per opening from any of the eight eligible legacy cases.
Supply now comes from existing inventory and remaining keys across eight inactive cases.
Float values are capped between 0.00 and 0.08, limiting all copies to Factory New and early Minimal Wear. Battle-Scarred is not obtainable. A StatTrak™ version exists; no Souvenir variant.
Applied by airbrushing transparent paints that fade together over a chrome base coat, producing a smooth multi-color gradient across the gut hook blade.
Gut Knife | Fade is among the more desirable patterns in the Gut Knife tier. Full-fade copies hold value reliably, and the gradient quality drives consistent secondary market interest.
