★ Navaja Knife | Tiger Tooth (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The recognisable part of ★ Navaja Knife | Tiger Tooth is the contrast of glossy orange metal and brown stripes against a warm, veined marble handle. In Minimal Wear the stripes and colour remain intact, and any marks are small spots near the tip or along the cutting edge. In normal play it reads almost the same as the cleanest grade, which makes it the more practical way into this finish.

Item type: knife. Covert is the top weapon rarity: usually the most prominent items of a collection or case.

Anodized Multicolored: several colours in the metal coating; it wears little, the colours only dull with use.

Other qualities of this skin: Factory New.

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

The blade is covered in orange-gold anodizing with diagonal dark brown tiger stripes running across both the flat and the clip point, while the sharpened edge shows a thin silver bevel. The bolster and lock area carry the same orange finish and stripes, broken up by silver pivot and lock screws.

At Minimal Wear the first small losses of anodizing can appear as tiny bright specks at the blade tip or along the cutting edge and spine. Copies near the clean end of the range often look identical to Factory New, while those near the upper end show these specks more readily on close inspect. At normal distance in game the orange and the stripes read as fully intact. The bolster, flat of the blade and marble handle stay clean.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the range, since lower floats keep the tip and edge completely clean.
• Inspect the blade tip and spine closely, as these are the first spots where the anodizing breaks.
• Compare stripe placement across a few copies if you care how the stripes fall on the visible side of the blade.
• Look for a name tag or StatTrak™ counter and decide whether you want them on this knife.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Buyers who would rather save at this grade than pay for a perfect tip.
• A sensible entry into this finish with almost no visual trade-off.
