★ Paracord Knife | Stained (Factory New)

The ★ Paracord Knife | Stained (Factory New) is a Covert ★ finish built around a forced patina, with lemon and mustard tones dripped across the blade rather than any painted graphic. Factory New sits at the lowest end of the float scale, keeping those dripped streaks at their most vivid before any handling wear sets in.

Design

Lemon and mustard tones dripped onto the surface create the whole look here, leaving streaks and blotches that never repeat quite the same way twice. It ships with the flavor line "If you think it's messy now, wait until you see it under a blacklight," which matches the deliberately grimy aesthetic.

★ Paracord Knife | Stained (Factory New) Float and Wear

This finish runs the full float range, 0.00 through 1.00, so all five wear grades genuinely exist. At Factory New the blade sits right at the low end, keeping the dripped lemon-and-mustard streaking sharp and free of the scuffing that starts showing on rougher grades. On the float scale, Factory New spans 0.00–0.07.

Paracord Knife | Stained Rarity

Covert ★ places this finish above ordinary Covert weapon skins as the rare special ("knife") item, the gold-tier pull inside any case that carries it. Landing one at all is the hard part, well ahead of wear entering the picture.

Paracord Knife | Stained Case and Collection

This finish comes from two boxes, the Shattered Web Case and the Fracture Case. The rare-special tier as a whole lands at roughly 0.26% per opening of either case, which is why most buyers just pick one up on the market.

Paracord Knife Stained Patterns

There's no rare "blue gem" style tier to chase on Stained, but the patina isn't identical from copy to copy — the paint seed decides exactly where the lemon and mustard streaks pool and how the pattern spreads. Collectors do look for a cleaner, more deliberate streaking seed rather than a muddy blotch, so it's worth checking the actual render before buying.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ version of this knife exists and permanently tracks confirmed kills through any trade or sale. There's no Souvenir version, though — knives are never handed out in Major-tournament souvenir packages, regardless of case or finish.

Paracord Knife | Stained Price

Factory New sits at the top of this finish's own price ladder, and Stained overall ranks grail-tier, among the priciest finishes this knife offers. A cleaner, more even patina seed can push an individual copy above a typical listing. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

What case is the Paracord Knife Stained in?

It comes from either the Shattered Web Case or the Fracture Case. That the rare-special tier pulls at only about 0.26% per opening is exactly why most players buy their Stained directly rather than farming for it.

Does the patina pattern matter on the Paracord Knife Stained?

Yes, somewhat. There's no blue-gem style rare tier, but the paint seed still decides where the lemon and mustard streaks land, so no two copies drip quite the same way. Collectors generally favor a cleaner, more deliberate streak pattern over a muddier one.

What are the best gloves for the Paracord Knife | Stained?

Since the patina leans into warm lemon and mustard tones, gloves in a matching mustard, tan, or muted yellow shade tie a loadout together nicely. A plain dark or gray pair also works if you'd rather let the blade stand out on its own. For the best Paracord Knife Stained glove combo, echo those warm tones rather than fighting them.
