★ Stiletto Knife | Stained (Factory New)

The ★ Stiletto Knife | Stained (Factory New) is a Covert ★ rare-special finish built around a forced patina dripped onto the blade rather than a painted design. Factory New is the cleanest of the five grades this finish comes in, showing that mustard-toned patina texture at its sharpest.

Design

Stained skips a painted design entirely — the blade gets a forced patina from lemon and mustard dripped onto the surface, leaving a mottled, uneven texture rather than a flat coat. It carries the flavor line "If you think it's messy now, wait until you see it under a blacklight."

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

This finish runs the full 0.00 to 1.00 float range, and Factory New occupies the 0.00–0.07 band at the very bottom of it — the lowest-float, crispest grade the Stained comes in. The patina reads at its most defined here, before any extra wear muddies the texture.

Stiletto Knife | Stained Rarity

Rarity: Covert ★ — a rare-special ("knife") item, the gold-tier slot that sits above every ordinary weapon grade in a case, not a standard Covert skin. Pulling one at all is the scarce part, well before wear grade comes into it.

Stiletto Knife | Stained Case and Collection

This finish comes from the Horizon Case and the Danger Zone Case rather than a single collection. Across the rare-special tier as a whole, the odds sit around 0.26% per case opening, so most buyers pick theirs up on the market instead of chasing that pull.

Stiletto Knife | Stained Patterns

There's no blue-gem-style rare pattern to chase on a Stained — but that doesn't mean every copy looks the same. The patina texture itself varies by paint seed, so some copies show a cleaner, more even stain than others, and collectors do pay attention to that spread even though it isn't a formal tier.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ version of this knife exists, permanently tracking confirmed kills through any trade or sale. There's no Souvenir version at all, since knives are never handed out in Major-tournament souvenir packages.

Stiletto Knife | Stained Price

Factory New sits at the top of this finish's own price ladder, and Stained as a whole is the most accessible entry point among this knife's finishes — still a premium item like any Stiletto Knife, just the friendliest way in. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

What case is the Stiletto Knife Stained in?

It drops from the Horizon Case and the Danger Zone Case rather than one single source. The rare-special ("knife") pull rate sits around 0.26% per case across the board, which is why most buyers get theirs on the market instead of opening cases.

Does the seed matter on the Stiletto Knife Stained?

There's no blue-gem-style rare pattern here, but the patina texture does vary by paint seed — some copies show a cleaner, more even stain than others. It's worth checking a listing's screenshots rather than assuming every Stained looks identical.

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

The mustard-and-lemon patina leans into warm, muted yellow and brown tones, so gloves in tan, olive, or worn-leather shades pick up on that palette nicely. A plain black or gray pair also works if you want the patina to be the focal point. For the best Stiletto Knife Stained glove combo, lean into those earthy tones rather than a bright contrast.
