A cool-toned ancient glove from Broken Fang with layered green metal on riveted armor—here’s how wear from 0.06–0.80 plays out in inspect, what it pairs with, and when the price makes sense.
First look
Broken Fang Gloves | Jade sits in the ancient glove tier and pulls its name from the official Jade descriptor: green metallic finish over the Broken Fang riveted guard silhouette. It landed with Operation Broken Fang on December 3, 2020, and it’s one of the easier cool-tone picks to spot in that glove line—good if you like hard-edged armor lines but still want color on your hands.
Design credit goes to Valve; public searches don’t turn up a separate Workshop author.
Inspect & wear (0.06–0.80)
Float runs 0.06 to 0.80, so you’ll see everything from relatively clean metal to heavy battle wear.
In a live inspect, the green metal shifts in highlight and shadow, pick up scratches, and show edge wear where base material peeks through—all of that moves with float. Don’t buy off a thumbnail. Spin the glove in-game, note where the pattern sits on the knuckles and straps, then decide. That beats any static listing screenshot.
| Wear band | What you usually get |
|-----------|----------------------|
| Lower float (e.g. near 0.06) | Fuller metal sheen, fewer obvious scars |
| Mid float | Mixed gloss and scuffing—check edges |
| High float (toward 0.80) | Stronger beat-up vibe, more exposed wear |
Pick the band that matches your taste and budget; there’s no single “correct” float unless you’re chasing a specific look.
Loadout & market check
As an ancient glove, Jade reads loud in the inventory screen and in full kits. It plays nicely with dark green, black, and camo weapon finishes without fighting the palette.
If you’re comparing on C5GAME or similar, lock in wear tier and pattern placement—same float range can look different depending on template.
Shop verdict
Worth considering if you want Broken Fang’s armored read with a restrained green metal identity and you’re willing to inspect before checkout. Pass or wait if you only trust listing photos or you need a neutral glove—this one is deliberately colored.
Expert muttering
The whole sell is the green metal layering across floats, not the logo hype. I’d rather hold a mid-float with clean knuckle metal than overpay for “low float” on a template that scratches exactly where I look in inspect. Ancient rarity is the flex; the green is the reason you keep it equipped.
