★ Karambit | Stained (Field-Tested)

The Karambit echoes a tiger claw through its curved blade; the finger ring supports a sure grip and swift handling. 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. The handle acts as a restrained counterpart to the blade and does not draw attention away from the main treatment.

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. Every Stained condition on the Karambit continues one design rather than forming a separate release.

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

For the Karambit, the label describes the skin’s position within the wider catalog. Standard and special versions share one rarity even though their in-game traits and origins differ.

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

On the Karambit, the Stained treatment uses the Patina method, shaping the way the image meets its material and geometry. Condition determines the neatness of the surface, but the artistic foundation stays the same.

Karambit | 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 Karambit. Condition adds another visible distinction: cleaner examples preserve more of the original detail, while abrasion gives the same design a rougher, quieter character.

The edition range for Karambit | Stained consists of standard edition and StatTrak™. Available Karambit 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.

Its original release defines the place of Stained in Counter-Strike's item history. No opening container is listed for this Karambit skin. Its source can instead be followed through the rest of the original release data.

The origin of Stained is considered together with the model for which it was released.

Edition divides Karambit | Stained into standard edition and StatTrak™. The standard edition has no kill counter; StatTrak™ records its owner's kills. The exterior range includes Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

Edition and condition form two distinct layers of comparison; matching one does not make the items identical.
