Souvenir AK-47 | Crossfade (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

Crossfade dresses the AK-47 in a pastel gradient that drifts from warm pink on the handguard to purple on the stock, with pale diagonal streaks across the receiver. Minimal Wear keeps that look almost intact. Any marks are small and sit on edges, so the skin reads as clean in hand while usually costing less than a pristine copy.

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.

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

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

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.

Tiny scuffs may appear on the tips of the handguard and on the magazine edges. The large painted panels remain untouched and the colours keep their full saturation. At normal viewing distance these marks are hard to spot. The receiver, stock and dot pattern still look clean.

Minimal Wear quality — float range 0.07–0.15

What it costs in each quality

By price this skin is 3rd of 7 skins Mil-Spec Grade AK-47 in this quality (the first being the dearest).

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 Minimal Wear

• Players who want a clean-looking rifle in game without paying for a perfect copy.
• Sticker crafters who accept tiny edge marks that are invisible at normal distance.
• A sensible balance of looks and cost.
