Flip Knife | Stained (Field-Tested)

The Flip Knife | Stained is a CS2 knife skin built on the CS:GO (legacy) model. As a “Stained” design, it follows the classic knife-skin DNA players associate with the Stained family—bold, contrast-heavy artwork intended to look like worn pigment or uneven dye. The skin’s identity is tied closely to its legacy visuals, making it a recognizable choice for collectors transitioning from CS:GO to CS2.

In terms of rarity, Flip Knife | Stained is classified as Covert. Covert knives are among the more sought-after drops in the game, which generally means lower availability compared to standard weapon skins. Exact drop chances aren’t publicly guaranteed in a fixed percentage, but the overall rarity tier indicates it is significantly less common than lower-tier items—especially the knife class itself.

Players can choose from multiple wear versions, since this skin supports the full Float range of 0 to 1. Available wears include Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is also available (Yes), allowing the knife to track kills, while Souvenir is not available for this skin. Because wear affects how the surface and pattern present in-game, many collectors aim for a specific visual look—either cleaner factory finishes or more aggressive worn texture at higher wear states.

Visually, the Stained finish focuses on a high-contrast pattern applied across the blade and handle area, designed to resemble layered, imperfect staining. Paint index: 43 is associated with this specific pattern placement, contributing to the consistent identity of the design across individual copies. In motion, the knife’s finishes and edges catch light differently depending on the wear level, which is a major reason the skin remains popular for both inspection and gameplay.

To obtain the Flip Knife | Stained, look for it in specific CS:GO and CS:GO-case-era containers, since it is not tied to collections in the game right now (Found in collections: None). It can be found in cases such as the CS:GO Weapon Case, Operation Phoenix Weapon Case, Revolver Case, Operation Bravo Case, and multiple eSports and weapon case variations including eSports 2014 Summer Case, eSports 2013 Winter Case, Winter Offensive Weapon Case, CS:GO Weapon Case 2, and CS:GO Weapon Case 3, among others listed for this item.

Community perception is strongly positive for the Flip Knife | Stained because it blends the prestige of a Covert knife with a distinctive, easy-to-recognize finish style. Many players appreciate the stained aesthetic as an alternative to cleaner “glossy” knife designs, while collectors value it for its legacy CS:GO model and the choice of wear + StatTrak for personalization.
