★ Butterfly Knife | Stained (Field-Tested)

The Butterfly Knife is built around speed, motion, and concealment; its freely pivoting handles turn deployment into a practiced flourish. For the Stained treatment, it has been given a forced patina using lemon and mustard dripped onto the surface.

The treatment follows the blade curve while keeping the edge, point, and transition to the handle clearly defined. During inspection, light falls differently across the blade plane and edge, emphasizing the form without unnecessary decoration.

The Stained design joined the Counter-Strike catalog as a distinct work with its own family of variants.

The moment of release matters most to its history because that is when the artwork gained official in-game status. Across the Butterfly Knife family, Stained keeps one artistic foundation while condition changes only the individual surface.

Within the game's classification, Butterfly Knife | Stained carries Covert rarity. The tier belongs to the artwork itself, so a cleaner or more worn example keeps the same classification.

Rarity belongs to the family as a whole rather than one Butterfly Knife example. The tier unites the family, while edition type describes the properties of an individual variant.

The Stained treatment works with that character instead of burying the item's form beneath decoration.

On the Butterfly Knife, the Stained treatment uses the Patina method, shaping the way the image meets its material and geometry. As wear increases, parts of the surface may lose definition without turning the treatment into a different design.

Butterfly Knife | Stained is easy to recognize through the pairing of a familiar silhouette with a distinct surface treatment. Its identity does not depend on inspecting tiny details.

A clear visual rhythm keeps Stained from disappearing beside other finishes made for the Butterfly Knife. Condition adds another visible distinction: cleaner examples preserve more of the original detail, while abrasion gives the same design a rougher, quieter character.

The principal editions of Butterfly Knife | Stained are standard edition and StatTrak™. Available Butterfly Knife conditions are Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred; abrasion and smaller details change between them.

No dedicated container is listed for Stained. Its available editions and conditions are still treated separately. Matching wear alone does not make two items the same version: edition comes first, followed by surface condition.

The first in-game release is the natural starting point for Stained. A specific case does not form part of this Butterfly Knife variant's origin; its official release provides the relevant context.

The in-game release connected Stained with the character of its chosen model.

The Butterfly Knife | Stained family includes standard edition and StatTrak™. Its base version carries no special tracking feature; StatTrak™ adds a kill counter to the item.

Edition and condition form two distinct layers of comparison; matching one does not make the items identical. Each variant is built on the Butterfly Knife | Stained artwork; edition and surface preservation remain qualities of the individual item.
