Sawed-Off | Kiss♥Love (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This Sawed-Off is recognised by the large-eyed girl on the receiver and the violet colour that covers the rest of the gun. Minimal Wear keeps the portrait intact; any marks are small and mostly sit on edges you rarely notice in a match, so it costs less than a pristine copy without changing the look.

Item type: shotgun. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Classified is the second-rarest weapon tier, only Covert sits above it.

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

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

The main artwork sits on the receiver: an anime-style girl with pink hair and large blue-green eyes, set against a busy pink and cyan background with small graphic symbols on the side. The ribbed pump forend and the stock are painted a deep purple, and the long barrel and magazine tube are a darker, almost black violet.

Wear is limited to tiny specks on the sharpest edges, such as the muzzle and the rear corner of the receiver. The portrait remains untouched and the face looks the same as on a Factory New copy. The purple parts may show a faint mark on the forend ribs on closer inspection. At normal distance in a match the difference is hard to spot.

What to look at before you buy

• Check the float position within the wear, since on this portrait skin it decides how much of the face survives.
• Look at the receiver artwork in the inspect view, especially the eyes and the hair, because scratches there change the look most.
• Check the forend ribs, the muzzle and the corners of the stock, which wear first.
• Note any stickers or name tag already applied and whether they cover the portrait.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want the clean look of the portrait at a lower cost than Factory New.
• Sticker crafts where tiny edge marks do not matter.
• A sensible middle ground between looks and spending.
