★ Shadow Daggers | Stained (Minimal Wear)

The ★ Shadow Daggers | Stained (Minimal Wear) carries the same Covert ★ forced-patina finish into its second-cleanest grade. Minimal Wear still keeps the lemon-and-mustard streaking easy to read across both blades.

Design

The look comes from a forced patina, lemon and mustard dripped directly onto the blade coat, which streaks into a mottled yellow-white pattern across the pair of daggers. It ships with the flavor line "If you think it's messy now, wait until you see it under a blacklight."

★ Shadow Daggers | Stained (Minimal Wear) Float and Wear

Minimal Wear spans 0.07–0.15 on the float scale, the second-cleanest grade this finish reaches, with the patina pattern still reading clearly and only minor handling marks starting to show.

Shadow Daggers | Stained Rarity

This finish carries Covert ★ rarity, the rare-special ("knife") tier that sits above standard Covert weapon skins entirely, no matter which exterior a given copy lands on.

Shadow Daggers | Stained Case and Collection

It's sourced from the Shadow Case; the gold-tier ("knife") pull rate lands at roughly 0.26% per case, which is why most copies change hands on the market rather than through a fresh unbox.

Shadow Daggers | Stained Patterns

As a patina finish, Stained's mottled look varies by paint seed — no two copies streak identically, and cleaner, more even seeds are more sought-after than heavily blotchy ones. It's not a blue-gem situation, just genuine seed-to-seed variation worth checking.

StatTrak & Souvenir

StatTrak™ is available here too, permanently counting confirmed kills no matter how many times the knife changes hands. There's no Souvenir edition, since Major souvenir packages simply don't include knives.

Shadow Daggers | Stained Price

Minimal Wear trails Factory New slightly on this finish's price ladder while still holding the same upper-mid standing among this knife's finishes overall. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

How does Minimal Wear compare to Factory New on Stained?

The difference is modest — Minimal Wear covers 0.07–0.15 float against Factory New's 0.00–0.07, so the patina streaking is still crisp and easy to read at either grade. Handling marks are only just starting to appear at the higher end of Minimal Wear's band.

Does the Shadow Daggers Stained have StatTrak?

Yes, a StatTrak™ version exists and permanently tracks confirmed kills through every trade or sale. There's no Souvenir edition for this or any knife finish, since knives are never part of Major-tournament souvenir packages.

Is Stained worth buying?

If the streaked, patina look appeals over a cleaner painted finish, yes — the forced-patina texture holds up well even outside Factory New, and seed variation gives buyers something real to compare. It ranks upper-mid among this knife's own finishes, so it's a genuinely premium pick either way.
