★ Shadow Daggers | Stained (Battle-Scarred)

The ★ Shadow Daggers | Stained (Battle-Scarred) is the roughest exterior this forced-patina finish reaches, with heavy general wear layering onto the already-mottled surface. A forced patina drives the whole design here — lemon and mustard dripped onto the surface leave a streaked, mottled yellow-and-white finish across the paired blades.

Design

A forced patina drives the whole design here — lemon and mustard dripped onto the surface leave a streaked, mottled yellow-and-white finish across the paired blades, with the flavor line "If you think it's messy now, wait until you see it under a blacklight" fitting right in.

Shadow Daggers | Stained Patterns

Patina finishes like this one vary by seed, so the streaked look isn't identical across copies — cleaner, more even seeds are the ones collectors seek out, even though there's no blue-gem tier attached to any particular seed.

StatTrak & Souvenir

You can get this finish as a StatTrak™ knife, permanently tracking kills across ownership. Souvenir doesn't apply to any knife finish, since Major-tournament souvenir packages never include them.

FAQ

How rough does Battle-Scarred look on Stained?

It's the heaviest wear this finish reaches, running the full 0.45–1.00 float band. General wear piles on top of the forced-patina streaking, so the blades show the most weathered look Stained offers — noticeably rougher than any of the four cleaner grades.

Where does the Shadow Daggers Stained drop from?

It comes from the Shadow Case specifically. The rare-special ("knife") tier pulls at roughly 0.26% of openings there, which is why most buyers end up purchasing a copy on the market rather than opening cases themselves.

Is Battle-Scarred the most accessible grade of Stained?

Yes, it sits at the bottom of this finish's own price ladder, making it the most accessible way to own this particular knife. Stained as a whole still ranks upper-mid among this knife's finishes, so it remains a premium pick even at its cheapest grade.
