Souvenir Desert Eagle | Blaze (Factory New)

Skin overview

Desert Eagle | Blaze is a Restricted pistol finish with a glossy orange front section and stylised red flames that run back along the slide into a black rear half. In Factory New the orange keeps its full mirror-like shine from the chrome base and the flame outlines stay sharp. This is the grade for buyers who want the finish exactly as it was designed.

Item type: pistol. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

Anodized Airbrushed: a coloured coating with an airbrushed design on top; the coating holds while the design fades with wear.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear.

Appearance in Factory New

The front of the slide and the muzzle are covered in a glossy orange coat, airbrushed as transparent paint over chrome, which gives the colour a metallic depth. Red and dark-orange flames with darker outlines run from the middle of the slide toward the rear, fading into the black back section around the rear sight.

The orange and red layers are intact across the slide, muzzle and trigger guard. The chrome base shows only as an even reflection under the paint, with no bare spots. In game the front of the pistol reads as a clean, bright orange block with crisp flames. The black rear and grip look uniform.

Factory New wear: float 0–0.07

The whole float range of Souvenir Desert Eagle | Blaze is 0–0.08; Factory New takes the 0–0.07 segment (88% of the scale). The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

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, orange and red stickers continue the flame theme, while black or holographic dark stickers blend into the rear half of the slide. Placing stickers on the black section keeps the flames uncovered.

What to check before buying

• Look at the muzzle rim and the top front edge of the slide, since those spots show wear first.
• Compare where the float sits within the narrow range, because copies near the low end and near the Factory New border look almost the same.
• Souvenir copies come with fixed stickers, so check that their placement suits the orange front section.
• Check any name tag and applied stickers in the inspect view before buying.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the glossy orange and flames without a single mark.
• Sticker crafters building a clean showcase loadout.
• Conclusion: the grade to choose when the finish must be flawless.
