Huntsman Knife | Stained

★ Huntsman Knife | Stained is a CS2 knife skin with a silver blade and an irregular patina finish. Pale gray and blue-gray patches contrast with its nearly black handle and dark serrated spine. The restrained metallic look suits players who prefer surface texture over bright colors. All exterior grades are available, alongside standard and StatTrak™ versions.

Description

★ Huntsman Knife | Stained brings a mottled metal finish to a tactical knife in CS2. Its angular Tanto point and serrated spine give the weapon a distinctive outline without relying on colorful decoration. The bright silver blade carries cloudy discoloration rather than a neatly arranged graphic. A dark handle separates the textured metal from the grip, keeping the finish concentrated on the blade. This combination suits metallic loadouts and players looking for a subdued knife with visible surface detail. The Huntsman design was conceived for both combat and utility purposes, which informs its practical-looking shape. Standard and StatTrak versions give buyers a choice between the regular finish and an option with kill tracking. Before choosing a listing, compare its exterior, exact float value, and blade image rather than judging by the item name alone.

History and Origin

The Huntsman Knife | Stained was introduced on May 1, 2014. Its release formed part of the Huntsman Case Skins update. The Huntsman Weapon Case was its original case container and remains the case associated with this finish. Valve created the skin, rather than a community designer. Today, buyers can obtain an existing knife through marketplace listings or player-to-player trades. Valve retired the rare drop pool on December 17, 2025. As of October 9, 2026, the Huntsman Weapon Case no longer drops, so fresh case drops do not replenish that source. Existing cases can still be bought on the market and opened, keeping case acquisition possible despite the retirement.

Finish Style

Stained uses a Patina finish, giving the blade an intentionally uneven metal surface rather than a uniform painted appearance. The treatment uses lemon and mustard to create irregular discoloration across the metal. Bright silver remains the dominant color, interrupted by pale gray and blue-gray mottling. These marks form cloudy patches and faint ring-like outlines instead of a regular decorative pattern. A narrow dark groove runs along the blade, contrasting with the lighter surface around it. The serrated spine appears dark gray and gives the upper edge a clearly defined outline. The nearly black handle includes subtle lengthwise ridges, curved finger recesses, and visible silver fasteners. With the staining focused on the blade, the plain dark grip provides a quiet contrast to the busier metal texture.

Float Value

The Huntsman Knife | Stained has a float range of 0.00 to 1.00. Its available exteriors are Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred, covering the full selection of exterior categories. Standard and StatTrak versions are available; version choice is separate from the knife's cosmetic condition.

Rarity and Popularity

The Huntsman Knife | Stained is a Covert knife skin, with rarity treated separately from its exterior and float. Its stated chance from the Huntsman Weapon Case is 0.02%, making a specific Stained result unlikely from an opening. Although the case no longer drops, existing cases can still produce the knife, and existing copies remain available through purchase or trade.

Why it’s Popular:

• Silver and blue-gray mottling suits restrained metallic loadouts

• Cloudy blade texture adds detail without bright colors

• Dark handle contrasts clearly with the stained metal

• Standard and StatTrak versions offer different ownership options

Price Range

The live CS2 skin price range is $71.29 to $520.53. These bounds cover the whole item, not a particular exterior or version. Factory New through Battle-Scarred are valid options, but an exterior label does not identify the exact float. Standard and StatTrak listings should be compared separately, with attention to each knife's condition and visible finish. Inspect the blade image alongside its float value, then compare similar listings before deciding which copy to buy.

How to Obtain

1. Buy Directly through Eneba Skins

One of the fastest and most straightforward options is to purchase skins directly through Eneba Skins. You can browse available CS2 skins, compare prices, and choose the items that best fit your budget.

2. Open the Huntsman Weapon Case

Open the Huntsman Weapon Case for a chance at this knife, with a stated drop chance of 0.02%. The case no longer drops, but existing cases can still be purchased on the market and opened. Opening a case does not guarantee a Stained result.

3. Buy on the Steam Community Market

Buy the Huntsman Knife | Stained directly from a listing on the Steam Community Market. Check the exterior and whether the knife is standard or StatTrak before purchasing. This route selects an existing listed item instead of relying on a case-opening outcome.

4. Trade with Other Players

The Huntsman Knife | Stained can also be acquired through a player-to-player trade. Confirm the full item name, exterior, and StatTrak status before accepting an offer. Review the exact float and visible blade pattern when comparing the knife with the items offered in exchange.

Trading and Investment Considerations

New Huntsman Weapon Cases no longer drop, so further openings draw on existing case stock rather than replenished drop supply. Future demand and resale speed remain uncertain, making short-term profit expectations difficult to justify. For decisions to buy, sell, or trade, compare the same exterior and version, then inspect the exact float and blade appearance.

Reasons it Holds Value

• Retired case source limits fresh case supply

• Distinctive patina gives the blade a recognizable appearance

• StatTrak availability broadens the choice of versions

• Full exterior selection supports different condition preferences

The Huntsman Knife | Stained receives a medium investment rating. Its retired case source and distinctive finish provide reasons to consider holding it, but they do not establish future demand or price growth. The main risk is uncertain resale demand, while existing cases can still add new knives to circulation.
