★ Bowie Knife | Stained (Well-Worn)

The ★ Bowie Knife | Stained first appeared in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive as part of the "Operation Wildfire Case," released on February 17, 2016. This skin is known for its unique, tarnished look, created with a staining technique that gives the blade a smoky, iridescent finish. Unlike more vibrant or patterned skins, the Stained design features subtle, abstract markings in various shades of silver and gray, adding depth without overwhelming detail. When Counter-Strike 2 launched, it reintroduced the ★ Bowie Knife | Stained, enhancing its visual textures and preserving the blade’s stained effect for the new graphical standards. The updated skin reveals intricate variations in tone, giving players a realistic, worn appearance that aligns well with CS2’s enhanced graphics. This timeless design continues to attract players who favor understated, classic aesthetics in their gameplay setup.
