Bowie Fade Guide: 100% Full Fade Patterns
Master Guide to Bowie Fade 100% Full Fade & Pattern Rankings
Understanding Fade Patterns
Seed patterns are the most important facet that requires consideration either when selecting a Bowie Knife for purchase, or when attempting to put a value on one. There are 1000 different seed patterns for the Fade finish numbered from 0-999, each carrying a different Fade percentage that is transferred on the weapon skin, anywhere from 80-100%.
100% Full Fade Classification
Seed patterns with low Fade percentages are generally less valued since they leave parts of the weapon unpainted. On the Bowie Fade, seed pattern #412 is an example of this, which gives an 80% Fade, and leaves around 10% of the lower part of the blade unpainted.
The top seed patterns such as #763, #575, #897, and #636, have the whole blade covered in the pattern with the highest amount of purple at the tip, which is the most valued Fade color to have on the Bowie.
Note: 100% Full Fade patterns are the most valuable due to complete blade coverage and maximum purple at the tip.

Bowie Fade Float Values
On Fade finishes for knives, there are only two wear conditions, which are Factory New (0.00-0.07) and Minimal Wear (0.07-0.08). These determine the level of abrasions or scratches visible on the surface of the skin and tend to get worse as the wear level increases. However, there is no discernible impact to the Bowie Fade finish at any float value.
Factory New (0.00-0.07)
Pristine condition with vibrant fade colors
Minimal Wear (0.07-0.08)
