Gut Knife | Stained (Factory New)
The most notable feature of a gut knife is the gut hook on the spine of the blade. Originally popularized as an aid for field dressing game, the gut hook is also effective at cutting through fibrous materials like rope, webbing, or safety belts with ease. It has been given a forced patina using lemon and mustard dripped onto the surface.

Description
The Gut Knife | Stained is a CS2 (Counter-Strike 2) skin built on the CS:GO (legacy) model, carrying forward the classic knife design style from the earlier game era. Skins like this typically entered the market through long-running CS:GO collections and case ecosystems, and continued to remain available as CS2 adopted legacy weapon visuals and inventory compatibility.
As a Covert rarity item, the Gut Knife | Stained sits in one of the rarer tiers in the CS2 skin economy. While exact drop chances aren’t publicly guaranteed for individual items, Covert knives generally have low overall appearance frequency compared to lower-rarity weapons. With a Float range of 0–1, its wear condition depends on the specific roll you receive—affecting surface texture and visible condition.
You can obtain the Gut Knife | Stained in multiple wear states: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred. The skin supports StatTrak™, so you may also find versions that track kills in match, adding an extra collector appeal. Souvenir versions are not available, and no specific collection association is listed for this skin in the provided details.
Visually, the “Stained” finish emphasizes a mottled, distressed look designed to resemble streaks and markings across the blade and handle areas. With Paint index: 43 and the legacy CS:GO pattern setup, each instance keeps the characteristic stained aesthetic, while wear level determines how pronounced the contrasts and surface condition appear.
To obtain the Gut Knife | Stained, check CS:GO case sources that carry legacy knife skins into CS2. It has been found in: CS:GO Weapon Case, Operation Phoenix Weapon Case, Revolver Case, Operation Bravo Case, eSports 2014 Summer Case, Operation Vanguard Weapon Case, eSports 2013 Winter Case, eSports 2013 Case, Winter Offensive Weapon Case, CS:GO Weapon Case 2, and CS:GO Weapon Case 3. No found collections are specified, so case openings remain the primary route.
In the community, Gut Knife skins are popular for their distinctive silhouette and noticeable in-match presence. The Stained pattern in particular is often favored for its gritty, battle-inspired look, offering a different vibe from more clean or highly patterned knife finishes. Combined with its Covert rarity and the option for StatTrak™, Gut Knife | Stained is a strong pick for players who want a classic knife style with a worn, aggressive aesthetic.
