Survival Knife | Stained

★ Survival Knife | Stained is a CS2 knife skin with a pale silver blade covered in irregular blue-gray stains. Cloudy markings contrast with a mostly plain, dark handle, giving it a muted, weathered-metal appearance. The look suits players who prefer restrained colors and visible blade texture over bright decoration. All exterior grades are available, with standard and StatTrak™ versions.

Description

★ Survival Knife | Stained brings a mottled metallic finish to a tactical CS2 knife rather than covering the weapon in a bright painted design. The blade pairs pale silver with blue-gray discoloration, giving its broad surface a cloudy, uneven visual texture. A dark handle keeps the color palette restrained and lets the blade's stains provide the main detail. The Survival Knife's serrations, gutting hook, and bolted composite handle give the underlying model a practical, tool-like character. This combination suits players choosing an understated knife for a loadout built around silver, charcoal, or muted gray tones. A standard copy is available for players focused on the finish, while StatTrak provides another version to consider. There is no Souvenir edition to include when narrowing a purchase to a particular version. Buyers can compare exterior, individual float value, version, and the pictured blade instead of judging every listing by the finish name alone.

History and Origin

The skin was released on November 18, 2019, during the Operation Shattered Web update. Its original case source was the Shattered Web Case. Valve created the finish, rather than a community designer. The Fracture Case also contains this knife finish, providing another case-opening route for current buyers. As of October 9, 2026, neither the Shattered Web Case nor the Fracture Case receives new drops. Valve retired the rare drop pool on December 17, 2025, ending new drops for these cases. Existing cases can still be bought on the market and opened, so their retired status does not remove the opening route. Already-unboxed copies remain obtainable through marketplace purchases and player trades, separate from the randomized results of opening either case.

Finish Style

Stained uses the Patina finish style, giving the blade an intentionally uneven metal appearance. Lemon and mustard are used to force the surface discoloration, creating stains rather than a uniform painted layer. Pale silver remains the blade's base color, interrupted by irregular blue-gray patches. Cloudy, overlapping ring-like marks spread across the surface and give the staining its distinct texture. A darker gray band follows the upper edge, adding definition along the blade's outline. The long cutout through the middle reads as a dark feature against the surrounding pale metal. Short serrations near the handle retain bright silver edges that stand apart from the mottled blade surface. The curved charcoal handle has muted olive-gray borders, recessed panels, and visible round fasteners. Its mostly plain appearance contrasts with the blade's cloudy markings, keeping the detailed finish concentrated on the metal.

Float Value

The float value of ★ Survival Knife | Stained ranges from 0.00 to 1.00. Available exteriors are Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred, with no exterior grade excluded. Standard and StatTrak versions are available, but there is no Souvenir version; version availability is separate from a copy's exterior condition.

Rarity and Popularity

★ Survival Knife | Stained has the Covert rarity grade. Its stated opening chance from the Shattered Web Case is 0.0049%, which should not be treated as a confirmed Fracture Case probability. FalleN and fer have owned the skin, providing documented professional ownership without establishing sales volume or wider buyer demand.

Why it’s Popular:

• Pale silver and blue-gray stains suit muted loadouts

• Cloudy blade markings contrast with a restrained dark handle

• Serrations and a gutting hook give the model a tactical character

• Standard and StatTrak versions offer different buying options

Price Range

The live ★ Survival Knife | Stained price range is $47.15 to $824.00. These bounds cover the whole skin, rather than a fixed exterior or version. Factory New and Battle-Scarred listings should be compared separately, with the actual float considered alongside the exterior label. Standard and StatTrak copies also deserve separate comparison instead of being treated as interchangeable listings. Buyers comparing the CS2 skin price can check the pictured finish, float value, and version together before choosing a copy.

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 a Weapon Case

Players can obtain this finish by opening a Shattered Web Case or Fracture Case bought from existing market supply. Neither case receives new drops, but existing cases remain usable; the stated chance from the Shattered Web Case is 0.0049%.

3. Buy on the Steam Community Market

Players can buy ★ Survival Knife | Stained directly on the Steam Community Market instead of relying on a case-opening result. The selected listing should be checked for exterior and whether it is a standard or StatTrak version.

4. Trade with Other Players

The knife can also be obtained through a trade with another player who owns a copy. Both sides can compare the exact item, exterior, float value, and version before agreeing to the exchange.

Trading and Investment Considerations

Both source cases no longer receive new drops, so future openings depend on cases already in circulation rather than replenishment through those drop routes. Professional ownership offers some visibility, but it does not demonstrate sales volume or guarantee interest from future buyers. For a buy, sell, or trade decision, standard and StatTrak listings should be compared by exterior and float rather than the finish name alone.

Reasons it Holds Value

• No new drops from either source case

• Documented ownership by FalleN and fer

• StatTrak versions alongside standard copies

• Distinctive patina within a restrained color palette

The editorial investment rating is medium-to-good, supported by retired case sources and documented ownership by FalleN and fer. The main risk is that existing cases can still add knives to circulation, while professional ownership does not establish future buyer demand.
