★ StatTrak™ Flip Knife | Tiger Tooth (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The Tiger Tooth finish on the Flip Knife is recognisable at a glance: a warm golden-orange blade crossed by dark diagonal stripes, set against a grey textured handle. In Minimal Wear the anodizing still reads as fully intact in normal play, with any marks limited to faint spots near the tip or edges. It offers the same striped look as the cleanest grade while letting the buyer accept small traces seen only up close.

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.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New.

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

The whole blade, including the serrated section near the base, is anodized in a saturated golden orange. Dark brown tiger stripes run across the blade at an angle, wider near the spine and tapering toward the cutting edge.

Small light marks may appear at the acute point and in places along the cutting edge or serrations, where the anodizing starts to thin. The stripes and the main surface of the blade stay intact. At normal play distance these traces are practically invisible, and the knife looks the same as a Factory New copy. The handle and its orange hardware remain clean.

What to check before buying

• Check the float position within the wear range, since copies closer to the cleaner end show fewer marks on the tip.
• Inspect the acute point and the serrations up close, as the anodizing thins there first.
• Look at the first-person inspect view, where the blade is shown at the angle players see most.
• Check whether a name tag is applied and whether it suits your taste.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want the Tiger Tooth look in game without paying for the cleanest grade.
• Buyers entering the knife market who accept small marks visible only in close inspection.
• Minimal Wear is a sensible choice when the in-game look matters more than perfect condition.
