Five-SeveN | Sky Blue (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Five-SeveN | Sky Blue keeps its blue-and-silver scheme even in the last grade, though the paint is broken up by dark wear. The float range of this skin ends early, so Battle-Scarred here stops short of the roughest look and the blue is still easy to recognise. It is the most affordable way to get this colour on the pistol.

Item type: pistol. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Industrial Grade is the second tier from the bottom: common skins from drops and collections.

Solid Color: a single colour without a pattern; wear dulls it evenly and rubs it off along the edges.

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

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The slide and frame are painted one solid steel blue with a slight surface texture, covering the top of the slide, the rear serrations and the trigger guard. Silver accents sit on the trigger, slide stop, takedown lever and the controls above the grip, while the front of the frame carries a row of light blue and white stripes along the rail.

Dark patches cover much of the slide top, the muzzle area, the sights and the frame edges. Scuffs also reach the trigger guard and the area around the controls. Because the range ends early, the slide sides still keep a solid amount of blue. In game it reads as a heavily used blue pistol rather than bare metal.

Battle-Scarred wear: float 0.45–0.6

The whole float range of Five-SeveN | Sky Blue is 0–0.6; Battle-Scarred takes the 0.45–0.6 segment (25% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Which stickers suit it

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since a solid colour shows every scuff and a low float looks noticeably cleaner.
• Look at the top of the slide and the muzzle in the inspect view, as these parts lose paint first.
• Souvenir copies come with stickers already applied, so make sure their placement suits you.
• Check for applied stickers or a name tag that may affect how the plain blue looks.
