★ StatTrak™ Karambit | Stained (Field-Tested)

What the StatTrak™ counter does

The ★ StatTrak™ Karambit | Stained (Field-Tested, FT) is the StatTrak™ copy of this skin — the same Covert ★ finish, the same look, with a kill counter built into the model. Rather than a painted pattern, the finish comes from a forced patina — lemon and mustard tones dripped onto bare steel, with the exact streaking unique to each copy. Field-Tested spans 0.15–0.38 on the float scale — the middle grade, and usually the easiest one to find on the market.

What StatTrak™ changes about the price of the Karambit | Stained

Every confirmed kill with this weapon adds one to the number printed on the model. The count lives on the item rather than the account, which is why it survives trades and sales intact — and why it can never be wound back down. A StatTrak™ Swap Tool moves a count between two StatTrak™ items of the same type, which is as close to a reset as the game allows.

Where a StatTrak™ copy comes from

Expect to pay more than for the plain version: StatTrak™ copies are much thinner on the ground at any given finish and exterior. The premium tracks the skin itself, not the counter — buyers pay for the finish and the float, and a big number adds little.

FAQ

This finish spans a wide range of cases rather than one collection, having appeared in boxes like the CS:GO Weapon Case and the Operation Phoenix Weapon Case among many others over the years. StatTrak™ is settled at the drop: a copy either leaves the case with a counter or never has one, and it cannot be added afterwards.

Can the StatTrak counter on the Karambit | Stained be reset?

No. The count only moves one way and stays with the item through every trade and sale. A StatTrak™ Swap Tool moves a count between two StatTrak™ items of the same type, which is as close to a reset as the game allows. It still cannot lower the number.

Does StatTrak change how the Karambit | Stained looks?

No, apart from the counter on the model. The finish, the pattern and the float range are identical to the plain version, so at the same exterior the two look the same in hand.
