Souvenir AK-47 | Crane Flight (Factory New)

Skin overview

AK-47 | Crane Flight is a hand-painted finish with black ink strokes and a crane motif over a white base, set off by gold accents and red sun circles. In Factory New the white stays bright and the gold parts keep a clean, even shine. This is the grade where the fine brushwork reads best.

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

Gunsmith: several techniques combined on one item; some parts rub off, others only dull.

Other qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The receiver, handguard and magazine are covered in a white base with flowing black ink strokes, and the handguard carries part of the hand-drawn crane. The front sight, rear sight block, handguard fittings and the trigger area are finished in gold, while the barrel stays a light metallic grey.

The white base is clean across the receiver, handguard and magazine, and the black ink lines are sharp. Gold details on the sights and fittings keep a uniform shine. In game the rifle reads as bright and crisp at any distance. Nothing on the weapon shows visible wear.

Souvenir version

This is the Souvenir version: such copies dropped to tournament viewers in souvenir packages; the team stickers and signatures on them cannot be removed or chosen. Souvenir items never carry StatTrak™. There is also the regular version without tournament stickers.

Stickers and crafts

Gold, red and black-and-white stickers match the artwork and repeat the colours of the sights and the sun circle. Holo or gold stickers placed on the receiver above the magazine sit well against the pale base, while busy multicolour designs tend to clash with the ink drawing.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since the white base shows scuffs more easily than darker finishes.
• Inspect the magazine edges and the lower handguard, which wear first on this skin.
• Look at the gold sights and fittings for dulling on raised edges.
• Review applied stickers and any name tag, as they strongly affect how the pale finish looks.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the brushwork and white base in their cleanest form.
• Sticker crafters who need a bright, unmarked background for gold or red stickers.
• The choice for those who value the finish exactly as painted.
