CURATOR'S NOTE
On the ★ Stiletto Knife, Stained works through hierarchy: one visual idea leads, the rest supports it. Its surface-specific graphic treatment is carried by Grey, then tempered by White so the finish does not collapse into a single block of colour. That balance keeps the finish coherent from first read to close-up inspection.
DETAILS / CLOSE-UP
VISUAL ANCHOR
The blade face carry the strongest Grey passage in Stained. On the ★ Stiletto Knife, that concentration gives the finish a clear centre of gravity before the eye moves outward.
COLOUR TRANSITION
Moving into the spine and cutting edge, White interrupts the main field just enough to separate the surfaces. That pacing is what keeps Stained readable on the ★ Stiletto Knife.
HARDWARE CONTRAST
At the handle and pommel, the exposed material and the underlying construction become more visible. The quieter treatment frames the painted areas instead of competing with them. On this ★ Stiletto Knife, that role is specific to Stained.
