★ Falchion Knife | Stained (Battle-Scarred)

Battle-Scarred is the most-worn grade this Falchion Knife | Stained finish reaches, where the forced lemon-and-mustard patina meets the heaviest surface wear on the scale. It remains the same Covert ★ knife finish, just sitting at the high-float top of its range.

Design

This finish forgoes paint entirely for a forced patina — lemon and mustard dripped onto the blade leave the blotchy, uneven staining that defines it at every wear grade. The flavor line "If you think it's messy now, wait until you see it under a blacklight" comes with it.

Falchion Knife | Stained (Battle-Scarred) Float and Wear

Battle-Scarred covers roughly 0.45–1.00 on the float scale, the high-float, most-worn end of this finish's full 0.00–1.00 range. At this grade the surface wear is heaviest, giving the already-uneven patina an even rougher, more weathered finish.

Falchion Knife | Stained Rarity

Even at its most-worn grade, this finish keeps Covert ★ status — the rare special ("knife") tier, not an ordinary Covert weapon skin. That classification doesn't shift with wear.

Falchion Knife | Stained Case and Collection

The Falchion Case is this finish's only source, with no wider collection attached to it. Around 0.26% of openings from that case land the rare-special tier, so Battle-Scarred copies frequently reach buyers through the market rather than a fresh drop.

Falchion Knife | Stained Patterns

There's still no blue-gem tier on this finish, but seed-driven variation in the patina holds at Battle-Scarred just as it does everywhere else — some copies show a cleaner, more even stain than others even at this worn grade. Collectors chasing a tidier look should still compare seeds rather than assuming they're all alike.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ copy of this finish exists at every wear grade, including Battle-Scarred, and permanently records confirmed kills through any trade. No Souvenir version has ever existed, since knives never appear in Major-tournament souvenir packages.

FAQ

Is Battle-Scarred the cheapest way into this knife?

Within the Stained finish specifically, yes — Battle-Scarred sits at the bottom of its price ladder, below Well-Worn, Field-Tested, Minimal Wear, and Factory New. Combined with Stained already being the most accessible finish on the knife overall, it's about as budget-conscious as this knife gets, while still remaining a premium purchase.

Does the patina still vary by seed at Battle-Scarred?

Yes — the lemon-and-mustard stain pattern is locked in by seed regardless of wear grade, so a well-seeded Battle-Scarred copy can still look cleaner than a poorly-seeded one. It's worth checking a listing's images even at this end of the wear scale.

How rough does the patina look at this wear grade?

With float running up to 1.00, Battle-Scarred shows the heaviest surface wear this finish reaches, adding extra roughness on top of the patina's already uneven staining. The core stain pattern from the seed stays the same; only the surface condition changes.
