Souvenir AK-47 | Redline (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

AK-47 | Redline is a rifle finish built on a black carbon fiber hydrographic with thin red pinstripes running along the handguard, receiver, magazine and stock. In Minimal Wear the carbon weave stays sharp and the red lines look continuous, so the contrast between black and red is at its cleanest. This is the least worn grade available for this skin.

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: Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The receiver, handguard and magazine are covered in a black carbon fiber hydrographic with a fine woven texture. Thin red pinstripes run along the top of the receiver, around the handguard ends, down the curve of the magazine and along the edge of the stock.

The carbon weave is crisp across the whole rifle and the red pinstripes are intact. Any marks are tiny and usually limited to the magazine edge. In game the rifle looks practically clean. Lower floats in this grade are the closest to an untouched look.

Minimal Wear wear: float 0.1–0.15

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

Red, black, white and holographic red stickers fit the black-and-red scheme without breaking it. Placing them along the receiver near the red pinstripe keeps the line of the design intact.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since a lower float means fewer scratches on the magazine and handguard.
• Look at the magazine and the front of the handguard in the inspect view, as they wear first on this skin.
• Check whether the red pinstripes are continuous or broken, because they carry most of the skin's look.
• Review any applied stickers and name tag, and note whether the copy is StatTrak™ or Souvenir.

Who should buy Minimal Wear

• Players who want the cleanest available version of the black-and-red finish.
• Collectors and sticker crafters who need an even carbon surface.
• Conclusion: the top grade for a tidy look.
