Navaja Knife | Stained

The Navaja Knife | Stained is a Counter-Strike skin that carries over from the CS:GO (legacy) era, continuing to be available in CS2. As part of the game’s long-running knife lineup, it’s known for its bold, high-contrast look and the way its finish stands out on the Navaja’s curved blade and classic knife silhouette.

Classified as Covert rarity, the Navaja Knife | Stained is among the more sought-after knife finishes due to its tier and the overall demand for knife skins. While exact drop rates aren’t publicly fixed for every player or container, Covert items generally have lower odds than standard tiers, making them harder to obtain—especially compared to more common weapon finishes.

This skin supports a wide range of battle conditions with float range 0–1 and the following wear options: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available (Yes), allowing players to track kills with this knife. Souvenir is not available (No), and there are no known found-in collections tied directly to it.

Visually, the finish is defined by its Stained pattern. Using paint index 43, the blade presents a distressed, mottled appearance that can vary noticeably across different wear states. In lighter wears, the stained textures tend to appear sharper, while heavier wears often emphasize a more aggressive, battle-worn coloration—helping the knife maintain a distinctive, “used” character.

To obtain the Navaja Knife | Stained, look for it in cases/containers, specifically the Danger Zone Case and the Horizon Case. Because it’s a knife skin, community interest remains consistently high, and players often compare it to other stained-style finishes for its strong visual identity and how well it pairs with diverse loadouts.

In the CS community, the Navaja Knife is frequently praised for its familiarity and “knife-first” appeal, and Stained variants are especially popular among players who prefer finishes that look rugged rather than overly clean. Overall, the Navaja Knife | Stained is viewed as a practical collectible: visually striking, available in multiple wears, and supported by StatTrak for those who want both style and in-game tracking.
