★ Shadow Daggers | Stained (Factory New)

The ★ Shadow Daggers | Stained (Factory New) is a Covert ★ knife finish built around a forced patina — lemon and mustard dripped onto the surface, streaking a mottled yellow-white look across both blades. Factory New is the lowest-float grade this finish reaches, showing that streaking at its crispest.

Design

Stained keeps things messy on purpose — a forced patina made by dripping lemon and mustard onto the surface of both blades leaves a mottled, yellow-and-white streaked look. It carries the flavor line "If you think it's messy now, wait until you see it under a blacklight."

★ Shadow Daggers | Stained (Factory New) Float and Wear

Factory New covers the 0.00–0.07 band on Stained's full 0.00–1.00 float range — the lowest and cleanest grade — showing the patina streaks at their crispest before any handling wear sets in.

Shadow Daggers | Stained Rarity

Rarity: Covert ★, the rare-special "knife" item — the gold-tier pull that outranks every ordinary weapon grade in its case, independent of wear grade.

Shadow Daggers | Stained Case and Collection

This finish comes from the Shadow Case, with the rare-special ("knife") tier pulling at around 0.26% of openings — long enough odds that most buyers pick one up on the market instead.

Shadow Daggers | Stained Patterns

Stained is a patina finish, so unlike a fixed design, the paint seed does change how the streaking looks from copy to copy — some seeds land cleaner and more evenly mottled than others, and collectors do chase those better seeds. There's no rare "blue gem" tier here, just a spread of patina looks worth comparing before you buy.

StatTrak & Souvenir

This knife is also sold as a StatTrak™ version, which tracks confirmed kills for good and carries that count through any sale or trade. A Souvenir version doesn't exist — knives never appear in Major-tournament souvenir packages.

Shadow Daggers | Stained Price

Factory New tops Stained's own price ladder as its priciest grade, and the finish overall ranks upper-mid among this knife's finishes — one of the pricier ways to own this particular blade pair. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

What case is the Shadow Daggers Stained in?

It drops from the Shadow Case. The rare-special ("knife") tier as a whole lands at roughly 0.26% per opening, odds long enough that most buyers end up picking a copy off the market rather than chasing the pull themselves.

Does the seed matter on Stained, or is every copy the same?

It does matter — this is a patina finish, so the paint seed actually changes how the lemon-and-mustard streaking lands, and cleaner, more even seeds are more sought-after than blotchy ones. There's no blue-gem tier attached to any specific seed, just genuine seed-to-seed variation worth comparing.

What are the best gloves for the Shadow Daggers | Stained?

The yellow-white streaked patina pairs well with warm, earthy gloves — mustard, tan, or driver-style browns echo the finish's tones nicely, while a neutral black or white pair keeps the focus on the blades themselves. For the best Shadow Daggers Stained glove combo, lean warm rather than fighting the patina with cool colors.
