CURATOR'S NOTE

Stained feels deliberate because its material-led surface treatment is supported by a clear hierarchy: Grey first, Blue second. That gives the skin a distinct identity without forcing every surface to compete.
DETAILS / CLOSE-UP
PATINA WORK
blade face carry most of the Grey, establishing the finish's visual weight before the smaller Blue areas interrupt it.
SECONDARY CONTRAST
The contrast between Grey and Blue gives the finish its edge, especially where painted sections meet darker hardware. For Stained on ★ Bayonet, this is part of the finish's specific visual balance.
HARDWARE CONTRAST
The material-led surface treatment gains depth from the way highlights and darker recesses move across the render, preventing the palette from feeling flat. For Stained on ★ Bayonet, this is part of the finish's specific visual balance.
