★ Karambit | Stained (Factory New)

The ★ Karambit | Stained (Factory New) is a Covert ★ knife finish built around a forced patina, with lemon and mustard tones dripped across the steel. Factory New covers the 0.00–0.07 band of the float scale, the cleanest grade available, and here that dripped patina reads at its most vivid before any handling grime sets in.

Design

Instead of paint or graphics, this finish comes from a forced patina — lemon and mustard tones dripped onto the bare steel, leaving streaks and blotches that never sit the same way twice. It ships with the flavor line "If you think it's messy now, wait until you see it under a blacklight," which fits the deliberately grimy look.

★ Karambit | Stained (Factory New) Float and Wear

This finish runs the full float range, 0.00 through 1.00, so every wear grade actually exists. At Factory New the blade sits right at the low end of that range, keeping the dripped lemon-and-mustard streaks crisp and free of the scuffing that starts creeping in on lower grades. On the float scale, Factory New spans 0.00–0.07.

Karambit | Stained Rarity

Rarity: Covert ★ — this sits above ordinary Covert weapon skins as the rare special ("knife") item, the gold-tier pull inside any case that carries it. Landing one at all is the hard part, independent of which wear you end up with.

Karambit | Stained Case and Collection

There's no single collection behind this finish — it's an older knife finish that has shown up in a long list of cases over the years, the CS:GO Weapon Case and the Operation Phoenix Weapon Case among them. The rare-special tier as a whole lands at roughly 0.26% per case opening, which is why most buyers just pick one up on the market.

Karambit Stained Patterns

There's no rare "blue gem" style tier to chase on this finish, but the patina itself isn't identical from copy to copy — the paint seed decides exactly where the lemon and mustard streaks pool and how the pattern spreads across the blade. Collectors do look for a seed with cleaner, more deliberate streaking rather than a muddy blotch, so it's worth checking the actual render before buying rather than assuming every copy looks alike.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ version of this knife exists and keeps a permanent confirmed-kill count that carries over through any trade or sale. There's no Souvenir version, though — knives are never handed out in Major-tournament souvenir packages, regardless of case or finish.

Karambit | Stained Price

Factory New sits at the top of this finish's own price ladder and lands as the most accessible entry point among this knife's finishes overall — still a genuinely premium item, just the friendlier end of the lineup. A cleaner, more even patina seed can push an individual copy above a typical listing. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

What case is the Karambit Stained in?

It isn't locked to one box — Stained is an older knife finish that has turned up across a long run of cases, including the CS:GO Weapon Case and the Operation Phoenix Weapon Case. That spread is exactly why most players buy theirs directly rather than farming a specific case.

Does the patina pattern matter on the Karambit Stained?

Yes, somewhat. There's no blue-gem style rare tier, but the paint seed still decides where the lemon and mustard streaks land, so no two copies drip quite the same way. Collectors generally favor a cleaner, more deliberate streak pattern over a muddier one, so it's worth eyeing the actual render before you buy.

Does the Karambit Stained have StatTrak?

Yes — a StatTrak™ version exists with a permanent kill counter that follows the knife through every trade. There's no Souvenir edition, since knives simply never appear in Major-tournament souvenir packages, no matter which case they drop from.
