About ★ Karambit | Stained
The ★ Karambit | Stained in Field-Tested is the wear-tier-with-discount entry for the teal-and-brown wood-stain pattern lottery on the Karambit silhouette. Same Bravo Collection (September 2013) lineage as the MW version, same seed-driven ink distribution, but at the wear tier where the price-to-pattern access opens for pattern-first buyers chasing teal-dominant seeds on Karambit.
How FT changes Stained on Karambit
The seed-defined teal distribution does not change between wear tiers - a high-teal play face on a Karambit Stained FT shows the same density as on MW. The wear hits the steel substrate between the ink-pools rather than the pools themselves, and the wood-stain reference actually benefits from FT character - the laminate aesthetic implies use rather than display freshness. Tier-1 Stained patterns at FT still command meaningful premiums over average-pattern copies.
