★ Stiletto Knife | Stained (Field-Tested)

★ Stiletto Knife | Stained in Field-Tested (FT): a CS2 stiletto with a steel blade in dark streaks and a reddish-brown handle. Covert rank, with the ★ mark. It comes from the Horizon and Danger Zone Cases. The float of the finish takes the whole scale from 0.00 to 1.00, and all five wears are on it. This wear of the ★ Stiletto Knife | Stained is assigned 0.15 to 0.38.

What the ★ Stiletto Knife | Stained looks like in Field-Tested

The narrow gray-steel blade is covered with dark streaks and small blotches. The handle scales are red-brown with a coppery sheen and carry rivets. The guard, the lock and the handle cap are shiny steel. Valve describes an artificial patina, made by dripping lemon juice and mustard onto the surface.

In Field-Tested, scuffs settle on the edge and the tip of the blade. The wear is set at drop and stays put.

Where the ★ Stiletto Knife | Stained came from

Stilettos came out in the Horizon Case. Later Valve put the knives of that case into the Danger Zone Case as rare special items, and the Danger Zone Case was released on December 7, 2018. The Stained finish is in both.

What to check before buying

The difference between ★ Stiletto Knife | Stained listings is set by these things:

• float: in this wear the ★ Stiletto Knife | Stained has a long stretch of 0.15 to 0.38, so comparing several listings makes sense;


• the name on the stiletto: a name tag is allowed and stays on the item;


• the patina pattern and the state of the handle in the listing image.

What the ★ Stiletto Knife | Stained costs in Field-Tested

Between wears, the spread is as follows:

• Factory New costs 1.7 times as much;


• Minimal Wear costs an eighth more;


• Well-Worn is level;


• Battle-Scarred is a few percent cheaper.

Getting the ★ Stiletto Knife | Stained

The ★ Stiletto Knife | Stained drops from the Horizon and Danger Zone Cases, and the wear is random. The contract offers a different route: five Covert skins of one collection turn into a rare special item, but the stiletto is not something you choose there. For the wear you need, take a ready listing.

Who this wear suits

Buying the ★ Stiletto Knife | Stained in Field-Tested makes sense under these conditions:

• a stiletto with a steel blade and a warm, copper-colored handle is wanted;


• the CS2 loadout is put together in brown and steel tones;


• Well-Worn costs the same as this wear, so the choice between them can be made by the float of the listing.
