Sawed-Off | Bamboo Shadow (Factory New)

Skin overview

Sawed-Off | Bamboo Shadow is a Consumer Grade hydrographic that covers the shotgun in dark charcoal with faint brush-painted bamboo leaves and a small red seal on the receiver. In Factory New the bamboo strokes stay crisp against the dark base and the red mark sits sharp and unbroken. This is the cleanest version of a quiet, ink-painting finish.

Item type: shotgun. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Consumer Grade is the lowest tier of the rarity scale: the most common skins, most often used in trade-up contracts.

Hydrographic: the pattern is applied as a film over the metal; wear rubs it down to the base, starting with raised parts.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Factory New

The receiver and barrel are covered in a dark charcoal hydrographic with faint brown-grey bamboo leaves drawn in loose brush strokes. A small red seal sits on the side of the receiver above the trigger and is the only bright accent on the gun. The ribbed pump grip and the stock are brown, with darker reddish tones toward the butt, while the trigger guard stays black. On worn copies the paint goes first on the muzzle, the top edge of the barrel, the edges of the receiver and the ribs of the pump grip.

The hydrographic is intact across the receiver, barrel and pump. Bamboo strokes keep their soft edges and the red seal is fully saturated. In game the gun reads as a smooth dark shotgun with a faint pattern. Every part looks clean.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since low-float copies of a grade look noticeably cleaner on the barrel edges.
• Look at the red seal on the receiver, as it is the main accent and should stay clear.
• Inspect the muzzle and the pump grip ribs, which wear first on this finish.
• Check applied stickers and any name tag, because they change the look of a quiet design.
