Souvenir AWP | Oni Taiji (Factory New)

Skin overview

AWP | Oni Taiji is a Covert sniper rifle skin hand painted with samurai and Oni demon imagery in red, orange and gold, set against a dark purple barrel. In Factory New the artwork is complete and saturated, with every line of the demon faces and armour plates crisp on the receiver and stock. This is the grade for buyers who want the illustration exactly as it was drawn.

Item type: sniper rifle. Covert is the top weapon rarity: usually the most prominent items of a collection or case.

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

How the skin looks in Factory New

The receiver is covered with the main scene: a samurai figure and Oni demon faces drawn in orange, gold and red with blue accents and dark outlines. The stock continues the artwork in a strong red with demon imagery around the thumbhole and grip, while the long barrel is finished in plain dark purple, which makes the painted section stand out.

The illustration is intact on every part, with sharp outlines on the samurai and demon faces. The red of the stock and the purple of the barrel are even and saturated. In game the receiver art reads as a bright, detailed block in front of the scope. Nothing on the rifle shows scratching.

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

Gold, red and orange stickers blend with the receiver art, while dark purple or black ones tie into the barrel colour. Placements toward the barrel side keep the samurai scene visible; holographic or foil gold stickers echo the gold accents of the painting.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since copies near the cleaner end look noticeably better.
• Inspect the stock edges, the thumbhole area and the receiver corners, as these lose paint first.
• Look at whether the demon faces on the receiver are scratched, since they carry the identity of the design.
• Check applied stickers and name tags, and whether they suit the warm palette or cover the main artwork.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the hand painted scene with no flaws at all.
• Sticker crafters building a premium AWP where every detail of the artwork counts.
• The top choice when appearance matters more than budget.
