Sawed-Off | Bamboo Shadow (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

This skin keeps a low-contrast look: charcoal metal, brown pump and stock, and ink-like bamboo strokes. In Well-Worn the scratches are clearly visible on raised and outer parts, giving the gun a used, weathered surface. The dark base keeps it from looking messy at normal distance.

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.

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

Appearance in Well-Worn

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.

Scratches spread across the barrel and onto the receiver sides, cutting into parts of the bamboo pattern. The pump grip shows clear wear on its ribs and the stock edges are scuffed. In game the gun looks weathered, though the dark base hides much of it. The red seal is usually still readable.

Well-Worn wear: float 0.38–0.45

Which stickers suit it

Red, black and muted gold stickers echo the red seal and the ink-painting style. Placing them on the receiver near the seal keeps the composition balanced, while bright neon colours tend to clash with the dark base.

What to check before buying

• 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.

Who should buy Well-Worn

• Players who prefer a weathered gun and do not mind visible scratches.
• Buyers who want the skin cheaply while keeping the red seal readable.
• A fitting choice for a gritty, worn style.
