About ★ Karambit | Stained
The ★ Karambit | Stained in Factory New is one of the most weathered-aesthetic Karambit configurations in CS2 — a deep dark-stained finish from the original Assault Collection (August 2013) that wraps the Karambit's legendary curved blade in moody, antiqued metallurgy. Stained is the Karambit's answer to vintage-firearm aesthetics, distinct from the saturated chromatic finishes that dominate Karambit 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.
Assault Collection scarcity
The Assault Collection has been retired since 2013 and was never re-released. Karambit drop rates were already lottery-tier; Stained FN is essentially closed-supply. Long-term hold with extreme rarity at low floats.
