★ StatTrak™ Karambit | Stained (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

This Karambit pairs a stained steel blade with a plain dark grip, and in Well-Worn the metal looks clearly used. Scratches and dull areas cover much of the blade, and the grey-blue patches blend into a matte, uneven surface. The curved silhouette remains as recognisable as ever.

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.

Appearance in Well-Worn

The curved blade is bare polished steel covered with an irregular patina of smoky grey and pale blue blotches, denser along the spine and lighter toward the edge. The finger ring carries the same stained steel finish, while the grip is a dark grey textured handle with deep finger grooves and serrations along the back.

Scratches spread across most of the blade and the ring, and the mirror shine survives only in small patches. The patina blends into the dull steel, so the blotches read as soft grey haze. The overall shape and the grip remain clear at normal distance.

Well-Worn wear: float 0.38–0.45

What to check before buying

• Look at the inspect view, because the placement and density of the stains differ from copy to copy.
• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, as a low float keeps more shine on the blade.
• Examine the tip, the cutting edge and the ring, since they lose polish first.
• Decide whether a StatTrak™ version or a name tag matters to you before comparing offers.

Who should buy Well-Worn

• Budget buyers who care mainly about the Karambit animations and shape.
• Players who prefer a matte, rough steel look.
• A low-cost option where wear is part of the appeal.
