★ Stiletto Knife | Stained (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

The appeal of this Stiletto lies in its aged, workshop look: a stained blade, steel fittings and brown handle scales with rusty marks. In Well-Worn more bright metal breaks through the patina, giving the blade a lighter, scrubbed appearance. It reads as a knife that has been used and cleaned many times, which fits the theme of the finish.

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 blade carries the patina: cloudy grey, smoky blue and darker steel patches spread unevenly from the tip to the ricasso, with lighter reflective areas between them. The bolsters, the guard and the pommel cap remain polished bright steel and frame the stained blade.

Bare steel spreads over a noticeable part of the blade, especially along the edge and the front half toward the tip. The patina holds mainly near the spine and the bolster. In game the blade reads clearly lighter, with the stain visible as darker islands. The handle scales and fittings still look clean.
