Classic Knife | Stained (Field-Tested)
A classic of the Counter-Strike series, the edge of this knife is press-fit Stellite perfectly held in place due to its precise fit with the titanium on the blade's cheek and spine. The handle is fossilized mastodon ivory held in a carbon fibre pocket. It has been given a forced patina using lemon and mustard dripped onto the surface.

Description
The Classic Knife | Stained is a CS2 weapon skin built on the CS:GO (legacy) model, carrying over its distinctive look into Counter-Strike 2. As a knife skin, it’s designed to stand out in hand and in inspection animations, with the finish emphasizing contrast and texture across the blade surface.
Classified as a Covert rarity, Classic Knife | Stained sits among the more exclusive knife skins in the CS ecosystem. While exact drop odds are not publicly guaranteed, Covert items are generally far less common than lower rarities, meaning this skin is typically acquired through chance openings rather than frequent drops.
This skin supports multiple condition options across the full float range of 0.0 to 1.0. You can find it in the following wears: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available (adds a kill counter), while Souvenir is not available. The ability to choose wear lets players target either a cleaner appearance or a more pronounced battle-worn look.
Visually, the Stained finish is characterized by its stained, mottled patterning, creating an uneven, organic visual effect on the knife. With Paint Index: 43, the pattern placement is tied to the skin’s specific configuration, giving each instance a slightly different look depending on wear and condition. The result is a bold and gritty aesthetic that many players associate with “used” weapon character.
To obtain Classic Knife | Stained, it’s available from CS20 Case. There are no confirmed collections tied to this entry, so players generally look to case openings (or the active trading ecosystem) to find the wear and StatTrak variant they want.
In the community, the Classic Knife family remains popular for its clean silhouette and timeless design, and Stained adds a more intense visual character compared to simpler finishes. For many players, it offers a strong balance of high-rarity appeal and a textured, eye-catching finish that performs well both in first-person view and on community showcases.
