About ★ Butterfly Knife | Stained
The ★ Butterfly Knife | Stained in Factory New is one of the most weathered-aesthetic Butterfly Knife finishes in CS2 — a deep dark-stained finish on the Butterfly's flippable blade with moody, antiqued metallurgy. Stained is the Butterfly's answer to vintage-firearm aesthetics, distinct from the saturated chromatic finishes that dominate Butterfly pricing.
Why FN matters
Stained is a low-saturation weathered finish where wear is disproportionately visible. The dark-stained surface relies on subtle texture variation; MW already shows scratches breaking the surface, FT erodes the stained look into chaotic noise. FN preserves the original moody-antique aesthetic that defines the finish.
Butterfly Knife premium
The Butterfly Knife is among the most premium-priced knife models in CS2, even on its mil-spec finishes. Stained FN listings remain thin and asks have appreciated steadily as the model's Bravo Collection supply locks down. Long-term hold characteristics with extreme rarity at low floats.
