★ Falchion Knife | Stained (Field-Tested)

The Falchion Knife | Stained (Field-Tested) sits around the midpoint of this finish's wear range, where the lemon-and-mustard patina starts to blend with a bit of extra surface wear. It's still the same Covert ★ knife finish found across every grade of this skin.

Design

This finish forgoes paint for a forced patina — lemon and mustard dripped onto the blade leave an uneven, blotchy stain across the metal. The flavor line "If you think it's messy now, wait until you see it under a blacklight" comes attached to it.

Falchion Knife | Stained (Field-Tested) Float and Wear

Field-Tested falls roughly in the middle of the finish's 0.00–1.00 float range, covering about 0.15–0.38 on the float scale. That added wear blends naturally with the patina's already-blotchy look, though the pattern is still clear to make out.

Falchion Knife | Stained Rarity

Covert ★ rarity applies here just as it does to every other grade of this finish — the rare special ("knife") tier, not a run-of-the-mill Covert weapon skin. Wear grade doesn't change that classification.

Falchion Knife | Stained Case and Collection

The Falchion Case is the only source for this finish; it isn't spread across a wider collection. Landing the rare-special slot from that case happens about 0.26% of the time, so market listings make up a large share of how copies change hands.

Falchion Knife | Stained Patterns

No rare blue-gem tier exists on this finish, but the patina's spread still comes down to the paint seed — some seeds stain more evenly than others, and collectors do lean toward the cleaner-looking results. That variation holds at Field-Tested just as much as at any other grade.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ copy of this finish exists, permanently logging confirmed kills and carrying that record through future trades. Souvenir versions were never produced, since knives sit outside Major-tournament souvenir packages entirely.

Falchion Knife | Stained Price

Stained remains the most accessible finish on this knife overall, though it's still a premium item since no Falchion finish is cheap. Field-Tested sits below Minimal Wear and Factory New on this finish's price ladder but above the two more worn grades beneath it. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Field-Tested a good balance for this finish?

It's a reasonable middle ground — the patina still shows clearly at this float, and the price sits below the two cleaner grades while avoiding the heavier wear of Well-Worn or Battle-Scarred. For buyers not chasing the lowest possible float, it's a fair trade-off.

Does the seed still matter at Field-Tested?

Yes — the lemon-and-mustard stain pattern is set by seed regardless of wear grade, so a Field-Tested copy can still look cleaner or messier than another Field-Tested copy depending on which seed it carries. It's worth comparing listings rather than assuming they're interchangeable.

What's the cheapest wear grade for this finish?

Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred both undercut Field-Tested on the price ladder, making them the more budget-friendly options for this particular finish. Even those grades remain a premium purchase overall, since this knife has no genuinely cheap finish.
