Stiletto Knife | Stained

Origin Story

The Stiletto Knife | Stained, released on August 3, 2018, as part of the A New Horizon update, features a blade treated with a forced patina. Lemon and mustard are dripped onto its surface to achieve this distinct look. The resulting finish gives the knife a unique, mottled appearance. Its flavor text, "If you think it's messy now, wait until you see it under a blacklight," hints at hidden details not immediately visible.

Stiletto 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.
