Paracord Knife | Stained
This fixed-blade survival knife is designed to withstand being used as both a weapon and a tool, such as for setting traps, hunting animals or cutting foliage. The handle is wrapped in a length of multi-purpose paracord. It has been given a forced patina using lemon and mustard dripped onto the surface.

Description
The Paracord Knife | Stained is a CS:GO (legacy) knife skin carried into the CS2 ecosystem, recognized for its raw, worn aesthetic that fits the Paracord Knife model. As with many classic CS:GO finishes, it gained popularity through community trading and long-term demand for “knife-look” skins that balance visual texture with an understated color palette.
As a Covert-rarity item, the Paracord Knife | Stained is considered one of the more desirable knife finishes. While exact drop rates can vary by case and event mechanics, Covert-grade skins are generally far less common than consumer or restricted tiers—meaning the skin typically appears infrequently through case openings rather than normal acquisition paths.
This skin supports multiple condition tiers: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred (float range 0–1). StatTrak is available (Yes) for players who want kill-tracking, while Souvenir is not available (No). With CS:GO legacy modeling, collectors often value it for consistency with older knife skin aesthetics.
Visually, the Stained finish emphasizes discoloration and patch-like texture across the blade area. The effect is driven by its pattern system, including paint index 43, which contributes to how the surface marks appear from one instance to another. In practice, players often seek specific wear levels to achieve the most readable contrast and “stained” look.
You can find the Paracord Knife | Stained through these case sources: Fracture Case and Shattered Web Case. It is also listed as not found in any specific collections, and there are no associated souvenir versions, making its acquisition primarily tied to case drops rather than curated sets.
Overall, the Paracord Knife | Stained is widely appreciated for its practical, rugged character and for delivering a “real-wear” knife appearance without relying on bright, flashy colors. In the community, it’s often viewed as a strong pick for players who want a covert knife with distinctive texture and a classic CS knife identity.
