★ StatTrak™ Flip Knife | Stained (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

This version of the Flip Knife leans fully into its aged character: the patina was meant to look used from the start. At Well-Worn the blotches lose contrast and scratches spread over the blade, while the olive handle looks unchanged. The overall impression is a working knife that has seen a lot.

Item type: knife. Covert is the top weapon rarity: usually the most prominent items of a collection or case.

Patina: an aged metal surface; wear is part of the design, so the gap between qualities is less visible.

Other qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Well-Worn

The whole blade is covered in a forced patina: grey and blue-grey steel with darker cloudy blotches and streaks spread unevenly from the base to the acute point. The serrated section near the pivot carries the same mottled finish, which makes the teeth look darker and more textured.

Scratches cover the edge, tip and serrations and begin to spread over the blade flat. The blotches look less contrasting and slightly washed out. In game the blade appears lighter and rougher, though still recognisably stained. The handle is unaffected.
