Souvenir AK-47 | Predator (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This wear of AK-47 | Predator gives nearly the same striped olive-and-rust look as the cleanest grade. Any scuffs are small and sit on corners, so the pattern reads complete in game. It is the practical choice for a buyer who wants a clean-looking Predator without chasing the narrow top grade.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Industrial Grade is the second tier from the bottom: common skins from drops and collections.

Spray-Paint: paint sprayed over the metal; scratches and scuffs appear early but look natural.

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

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The receiver, handguard and stock are painted olive with broad reddish-brown stripes that run across the rifle in an irregular zebra pattern. The curved magazine carries the same stripes, angled along its length, and the pistol grip is mostly in the reddish tone.

Tiny scuffs may appear on the lower edge of the magazine and the front tip of the handguard. They are small enough to disappear at normal viewing distance. The receiver, stock and grip still look fully painted. Visually it is very close to Factory New.

Minimal Wear wear: float 0.07–0.15

The float of Souvenir AK-47 | Predator ranges from 0.06 to 0.8; the Minimal Wear quality covers 0.07–0.15 — 11% of this skin’s scale. The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

Price by quality

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.

Which stickers suit it

Stickers in olive, brown, tan or muted gold blend with the striped camouflage. Placing them on the receiver side above the magazine keeps them on a large flat area of the pattern. Bright saturated colours tend to clash with the earthy palette.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, as the magazine and receiver edges change noticeably between low and high copies of the same grade.
• Look at the magazine first, since it is the part that loses paint earliest on this finish.
• Souvenir copies exist and come with their own applied stickers, so check what is on the rifle before buying.
• Note any name tag or extra stickers and whether they fit the olive and rust colours.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want a clean look without paying for the narrow top grade.
• Sticker crafts where tiny edge scuffs do not matter.
• Conclusion: nearly Factory New looks at a more relaxed grade.
