Kukri Knife | Stained

Origin Story

The Kukri Knife | Stained was introduced to Counter-Strike 2 on February 7, 2024, as part of the "A Call to Arms" update, which brought the Kukri Knife family into the game. Its appearance is defined by a forced patina, achieved by dripping lemon and mustard onto the surface to create a chemically altered metal look. This process results in a messy, tarnished aesthetic, as highlighted by its flavor text, "If you think it's messy now, wait until you see it under a blacklight." The finish tends to feature muted metallic tones of silver, gray, and darker tarnish, with irregular staining patterns across the blade and spine. This skin caters to players who appreciate a more realistic, worn metal appearance over brightly painted designs.

Drop Chance

Kukri Knife | Stained is a knife-tier skin, so standard Valve rarity odds don't apply. Knives drop at a combined rate of approximately 0.26% from supported cases before accounting for which knife type and finish you get. Valve doesn't publish individual knife or phase probabilities.

Skin Condition

Float range 0 to 1. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Factory New (No Recent Price): The cleanest and brightest patina, showing a balanced mix of metallic sheen and subtle staining without large dark blotches.
• Minimal Wear ($103.50): Very close to Factory New, with minor additional darkening or micro-wear along the edges and high-contact areas, potentially showing slightly more pronounced stains.
• Field-Tested ($90.17): More visible tarnish and staining, making the blade appear dirtier or rougher, especially near the mid-blade and tip, with clearer darker, patchier areas.
• Well-Worn (No Recent Price): Significantly more uneven and darker patina, with stains and tarnish covering larger parts of the blade and spine, and less consistent color.
• Battle-Scarred ($89.41): Maximum tarnish and surface wear, with the finish looking very dark, heavily stained, and uneven, alongside substantial polished or raw-metal exposure along edges.

Visual Theme

Patina: It has been given a forced patina using lemon and mustard dripped onto the surface. Dominant colors are silver, gray, and darker tarnish tones, with irregular staining patterns along the blade and spine. In first-person view, the broad sickle-like forward blade edge and the upper spine near the handle are the main visible elements. General discussion of Stained finishes on knives indicates they are usually treated as lower-profile, more budget-oriented knife finishes compared with more colorful patterns.

Sticker Compatibility

As a knife skin, the Kukri Knife | Stained does not support sticker applications, meaning traditional 4x crafts are not possible. Its Patina finish, characterized by chemically altered metal and muted metallic tones, suggests that any visual pairings would focus on complementary glove skins rather than sticker synergy. The knife's "messy" and "stained" aesthetic, as described in its flavor text, might appeal to players seeking a grittier, more realistic combat look for their overall loadout.
