★ Survival Knife | Stained (Well-Worn)

The ★ Survival Knife | Stained (Well-Worn) pushes the lemon-and-mustard forced patina further into a heavily used state. It's a low-cost way into this finish, and the added wear largely reinforces the design's intentionally aged look.

Design

The finish's mottled gray-and-white surface comes from a forced patina — lemon and mustard applied to the metal to age it artificially, regardless of wear grade. The flavor text keeps its blunt honesty: "If you think it's messy now, wait until you see it under a blacklight."

★ Survival Knife | Stained (Well-Worn) Float and Wear

Float runs the full 0.00 to 1.00 scale on this finish, and Well-Worn covers the 0.38–0.45 band. Extra surface wear is clearly visible by this point, but since Stained is designed to look aged and mottled already, it reads as an extension of the theme rather than damage fighting the design.

Survival Knife | Stained Rarity

Rarity: Covert ★, the gold-tier rare special ("knife") item — a genuinely scarce case pull, separate from the standard weapon-grade tiers.

Survival Knife | Stained Case and Collection

Stained drops from the Shattered Web Case and the Fracture Case. As with any knife-tier finish, the pull rate sits around 0.26%, so the market remains the more reliable path to a copy than unboxing.

Survival Knife | Stained Patterns

No blue-gem tier exists on this patina finish, but the mottled texture does vary by seed independent of wear — a Well-Worn copy with a good seed can still look cleaner than another with a rougher one. It's worth comparing individual listings rather than judging by grade alone.

StatTrak & Souvenir

This knife is also available as a StatTrak version, which adds a kill counter that stays permanently attached through trades and sales. There's no Souvenir edition, as knives are never part of Major-tournament souvenir drops.

Survival Knife | Stained Price

Well-Worn ranks near the bottom of this finish's own price ladder, ahead of only Battle-Scarred, and it stays the most accessible finish on this knife overall. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Does Well-Worn ruin the Stained look?

Not really — since the finish is designed to look aged and patchy already, the extra surface wear at this grade tends to reinforce the theme rather than clash with it. It still reads clearly as Stained.

Is Well-Worn worth choosing over Field-Tested here?

Mainly if price is the priority. Field-Tested looks a touch tidier for a modest cost difference, but Well-Worn is a reasonable step down if saving money matters more than a slightly cleaner surface.

What float band covers Well-Worn on Stained?

It runs roughly 0.38 to 0.45 on this finish's 0.00–1.00 scale, above Field-Tested and below Battle-Scarred. That's where surface wear becomes clearly visible rather than just a light texture shift.
