Sawed-Off | First Class (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This is a quiet two-tone skin: near-black metal and green leather, with a gold winged badge as its only accent. Minimal Wear adds at most faint scuffs on edges that are hard to spot in a match. It gives nearly the same look as Factory New at a lower grade.

Item type: shotgun. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

Custom Paint Job: hand-painted across the whole body; this is the type where wear shows most, the artwork rubs down to metal.

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

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

The barrel, magazine tube and receiver are finished in dark gunmetal close to black, with a soft sheen along the top of the barrel. The pump fore-end and the pistol grip are wrapped in matte green leather with a fine texture, matching the in-game description of the leather-wrapped stock.

Faint scuffs may appear on the muzzle rim and the sharpest receiver edges. The emblem stays intact, and the leather looks the same as on a fresh copy. At normal distance in game the difference from Factory New is practically invisible. Barrel, grip and fore-end all read clean.

Which stickers suit it

Gold, brass and muted green stickers echo the winged emblem and the leather wrap. Dark or monochrome stickers placed on the receiver keep the restrained look, while a single gold accent works best near the emblem.

What to check before buying

• Check the float position within the wear range, since copies near the cleaner end keep the emblem and edges noticeably sharper.
• Look at the gold winged emblem on the receiver, as it is the first small detail to fade on worn copies.
• Inspect the muzzle rim and the top of the barrel, which show scratches before other parts.
• On Souvenir copies, check the applied stickers and how they fit the dark and green colour scheme.

Who should buy Minimal Wear

• Players who want a near-clean look without paying for the top grade.
• Crafters for whom tiny edge scuffs do not matter under stickers.
• Conclusion: almost the same look as Factory New with a sensible saving.
