Souvenir AK-47 | Crossfade (Factory New)

Skin overview

AK-47 | Crossfade is a Mil-Spec custom paint job built on soft gradients of salmon pink, violet and teal laid over dark metal. The streaked, blurred shapes match the item's own line about being caught between frames. In Factory New the colour transitions stay smooth and unbroken, and the halftone dots on the stock remain sharp.

Item type: rifle. 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.

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

Appearance in Factory New

The handguard carries the warmest part of the gradient, a salmon-to-copper pink with dark curved streaks running along it. The receiver is darker, crossed by pale and teal diagonal strokes that give it a motion-blur feel, while the stock fades into violet with a halftone dot pattern near the butt.

The paint is complete on every part, with no scratches on edges or raised details. Gradients blend without interruption from the handguard to the stock. The halftone dots on the stock and the pale streaks on the receiver have crisp borders. In game the rifle looks exactly like the inspect image.

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

Holo and foil stickers in pink, purple or teal echo the gradient and suit the darker receiver area. Pastel or white designs placed along the receiver keep the soft look, while a single dark sticker near the magazine well adds contrast without fighting the fade.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since a low float in a grade keeps the handguard and magazine edges noticeably cleaner.
• Inspect the handguard tips, receiver top and magazine ribs, as these lose paint first on this finish.
• Souvenir copies come with pre-applied stickers, so make sure their placement fits the pink-and-violet artwork.
• Look at any name tag or added stickers to see whether they match your plans for the rifle.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the gradient and halftone dots in their sharpest form.
• Sticker crafters who need a flawless base for a pink or purple theme.
• The choice for anyone who wants Crossfade exactly as designed.
