The ★ Huntsman Knife | Stained (Factory New) is a Covert ★ knife finish carrying a forced patina from lemon and mustard dripped onto the blade. Factory New is the cleanest of the five wear grades this finish comes in, giving the clearest read on that patina texture.

Design

The Stained finish comes from a forced patina — lemon and mustard dripped onto the metal to create an uneven, mottled surface rather than a painted graphic. It ships with the flavor line "If you think it's messy now, wait until you see it under a blacklight."

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

This finish runs the full 0.00–1.00 float range, and Factory New covers roughly 0.00–0.07 at the very bottom of it — the cleanest grade available. At this float, the patina's mottled texture reads with the sharpest detail before any surface wear muddies it.

Huntsman Knife | Stained Rarity

Rarity: Covert ★ — this is the rare special ("knife") slot rather than an ordinary Covert weapon skin, ranking above every standard grade a case can produce. That status is fixed at the drop, regardless of which wear a copy lands on.

Huntsman Knife | Stained Case and Collection

This finish comes from the Huntsman Weapon Case. The rare-special ("knife") tier drops at roughly 0.26% per opening, so most buyers end up picking one up on the market rather than chasing the pull directly.

Huntsman Knife | Stained Patterns

There's no blue-gem tier on the Stained, but the patina texture itself does vary from copy to copy depending on the paint seed — some seeds produce a cleaner, more even stain than others, and collectors do pay attention to that. It isn't a fixed design like some other Huntsman finishes; the seed genuinely shapes how the mottling lands.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ version of this knife exists and tracks confirmed kills permanently, carrying that count through any trade or sale. There's no Souvenir version at all — knives are never included in Major-tournament souvenir packages, regardless of case or collection.

Huntsman Knife | Stained Price

Factory New sits at the top of this finish's own price ladder, and the Stained overall ranks in the upper-mid range — one of the pricier finishes for this particular knife. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

What case is the Huntsman Knife | Stained in?

It comes from the Huntsman Weapon Case. Since the rare-special ("knife") tier only lands around 0.26% of the time, most players buy the finish directly on the market instead of opening cases hoping for a pull.

Does the seed matter on the Stained patina?

Yes — while there's no blue-gem tier, the patina's texture genuinely varies by paint seed, and cleaner, more even stains are more sought after than blotchy ones. It isn't a fixed look like some other finishes, so it's worth checking a listing's actual pattern before buying.

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

Muted yellow-brown or olive-toned gloves echo the lemon-and-mustard patina nicely, while a plain black or gray pair lets the mottled surface stand on its own without clashing. Steer clear of bright, saturated colors that fight the finish's grungy look. For the best Huntsman Knife Stained glove combo, lean into earthy, muted tones rather than bold ones.
