★ Classic Knife | Stained (Battle-Scarred)

The ★ Classic Knife | Stained (Battle-Scarred) shows the lemon-and-mustard patina over a gray-and-white base in its roughest available state. Battle-Scarred is the cheapest way onto this knife, making an already accessible finish even more so.

Design

The gray-and-white staining across the blade comes from lemon and mustard dripped directly onto the steel, a deliberately grungy patina rather than a clean paint application. It carries the line: "If you think it's messy now, wait until you see it under a blacklight."

★ Classic Knife | Stained (Battle-Scarred) Float and Wear

Battle-Scarred runs from 0.45 up to the finish's maximum of 1.00, the high-float, most-worn end of the scale. Heavier surface wear shows here, but since Stained's design already leans on an uneven, blotchy patina, the look stays consistent with the finish's overall grungy character rather than turning unrecognizable.

Classic Knife | Stained Rarity

Stained is a Covert ★ item — a rare special drop rather than a standard weapon skin, sitting above every regular case-tier rarity. Any copy of it is uncommon on its own, regardless of wear.

Classic Knife | Stained Case and Collection

This finish comes from the CS20 Case. The roughly 0.26 percent pull rate for rare special items covers the knife tier as a whole rather than singling out this finish, which is why buying directly is far more common than unboxing one.

Classic Knife | Stained Patterns

The patina remains seed-dependent at this wear too — copies vary in how the staining spreads, some tighter and some looser. There's no rare blue-gem tier at play, just a matter of personal taste in how blotchy or even you want the look.

StatTrak & Souvenir

This finish also comes in StatTrak, adding a permanent confirmed-kill counter that stays with the knife through trades and sales. No Souvenir version exists, since Souvenir weapons are only ever issued through Major-tournament packages, a pool knives are never part of.

Classic Knife | Stained Price

Battle-Scarred is the least expensive grade of Stained, which is already the most accessible finish of this knife — making this the cheapest overall way to own the Classic Knife in any finish. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Battle-Scarred Stained still recognizable?

Yes. The patina's rough, mottled character was never meant to look pristine, so the added wear at Battle-Scarred fits right into the finish's overall grungy design instead of making it look broken or unclear in-game.

Why doesn't Battle-Scarred Stained look worse than expected?

Because the finish's forced-patina design is already uneven and weathered by intent, extra wear at the high-float end doesn't clash with the look the way it would on a clean-painted skin. The staining absorbs the wear naturally.

Is this the cheapest knife finish overall?

Within this knife's own lineup, yes — Stained is already the most accessible finish, and Battle-Scarred is its lowest-priced grade, making this combination the most budget-friendly way to own this particular Covert-tier knife.
