★ StatTrak™ Classic Knife | Urban Masked (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This wear keeps the look of a light urban camouflage: whitish blade, grey guard and a pale checkered handle. Minimal Wear may show a few faint marks near the tip and edge, but at normal viewing distance the knife reads almost as new. It is the grade for buyers who want a clean light finish without hunting for the cleanest floats.

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

Spray-Paint: paint sprayed over the metal; scratches and scuffs appear early but look natural.

Other qualities of this skin: Factory New, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The blade is covered in soft white and light blue-grey spray paint with blurred transitions, as if applied through masking tape. A wavy beige band follows the spine and runs down towards the edge near the tip, giving the finish its recognisable tape-stencil outline.

Small specks of wear may appear at the very tip and along the cutting edge. The guard and handle stay practically untouched. At normal distance the difference from Factory New is hard to see, as the pale paint hides light scuffs well. The pattern and the beige band remain fully readable.

Minimal Wear wear: float 0.07–0.15

What to look at before you buy

• Check the float position within the wear, because the tip and edge lose paint first and lower floats keep them cleaner.
• Look at the beige band along the spine on the inspect screen to see how much of the stencil outline survives.
• Inspect the handle checkering and guard edges, which show rubbing on worn copies.
• Decide whether you want the StatTrak™ version and check if a name tag is applied.

Who should buy Minimal Wear

• Players who want a near-new look without paying for the cleanest grade.
• Buyers who will not notice faint marks at the tip in normal play.
• A sensible balance between clean appearance and cost.
