★ Talon Knife | Stained (Well-Worn)

The ★ Talon Knife | Stained (Well-Worn, WW) pushes this Covert ★ knife's forced patina further along the wear scale, closer to its most battered look. Well-Worn sits in the second-highest float band Stained reaches.

Design

The mottled lemon-and-mustard patina still covers the blade here, backed by an ivory-toned handle with brass rivets and saw-tooth ridges. The flavor text "If you think it's messy now, wait until you see it under a blacklight" applies just as much at this wear grade.

★ Talon Knife | Stained (Well-Worn) Float and Wear

Stained spans the full 0.00–1.00 float range, and Well-Worn covers roughly 0.38–0.45 of it — noticeably higher than Field-Tested (FT). At this grade the patina looks heavily aged, with the mottled stain pattern showing plenty of added surface wear on top of the original design.

Talon Knife | Stained Rarity

Well-Worn copies are still Covert ★ rare-special ("knife") items, just like every other wear of this finish — the gold-tier pull that outranks a standard weapon skin regardless of condition. Rarity is set by the drop itself, not the wear.

Talon Knife | Stained Case and Collection

No single collection produces Stained; both the Horizon Case and the Danger Zone Case can drop it. With the rare-special tier near 0.26% per opening across those cases, most Well-Worn copies are bought rather than pulled fresh.

Talon Knife Patterns

Paint-seed variation in the patina still applies at Well-Worn, though the added surface wear at this grade makes texture differences between seeds a bit harder to spot at a glance. There's still no blue-gem-style rarity to chase, just the usual seed-driven texture spread.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ version of this knife tracks kills permanently and carries that count through every sale or trade. Souvenir versions were never made for any Stained copy, since knives don't appear in Major souvenir packages.

FAQ

Does Well-Worn suit the Stained finish's look?

In a way, yes — since the patina is designed to look weathered from the start, the added wear at Well-Worn doesn't feel out of place the way it might on a cleaner-looking finish. The mottled stain pattern remains clearly visible throughout.

Why is Well-Worn priced below Field-Tested?

Higher float generally means a lower price, and Well-Worn's roughly 0.38–0.45 band sits above Field-Tested's on the scale, so it trades for less even though both share the same underlying patina design. It's a way to get the finish's look for a lower cost.

Is there an even more worn version than this?

Yes, Battle-Scarred (BS) is the final grade above Well-Worn, covering the highest-float end of Stained's full 0.00–1.00 range. It shows the most surface wear this finish offers, on top of the same forced patina found at every other grade.
