Souvenir AK-47 | Frontside Misty (Factory New)

Skin overview

AK-47 | Frontside Misty is a Classified rifle finish built on a contrast of bright cyan, white swirling ornament and a dark charcoal base. In Factory New the ice-blue panels and the fine white curls stay crisp, with clean edges between the colours. This is the grade for a buyer who wants the arctic palette exactly as it was painted.

Item type: rifle. 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.

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

Appearance in Factory New

The receiver is painted bright cyan with dark inserts and white swirling ornament, and cyan lines also run along the rear sight area and the top of the barrel. The handguard and gas tube are dark charcoal covered with large white curls outlined in black.

The paint is intact on every part, from the muzzle to the butt of the stock. The cyan stays saturated and the white curls keep sharp black outlines. In game the rifle looks bright and clean at any distance. There is nothing worn to look for, only the exact float matters.

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

Stickers in cyan, white, silver or holo-blue tones blend naturally with the arctic palette. Black and white designs work well on the dark handguard and stock without breaking the swirl ornament. Placements along the receiver suit bolder accents, while warm colours such as red or orange create a strong deliberate contrast.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since copies at the clean end of a range look noticeably better.
• Inspect the magazine curve and the receiver edges first, as they are the first places where this finish loses paint.
• Look at the screenshot or in-game preview of the stock, where scratches on the white curls are easy to miss in a small image.
• Review applied stickers and any name tag, as they change the look and may not suit the cyan and white scheme.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the cyan and white ornament in its cleanest form.
• Players planning a sticker craft where a pristine base matters.
• Conclusion: the top choice for an untouched arctic look.
