Souvenir Desert Eagle | Oxide Blaze (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Oxide Blaze is recognisable by its rust-brown body, light patches across the top of the slide and a dark grip panel. In Field-Tested the paint starts to thin along edges and the muzzle end, which suits the theme of oxidised metal. For a skin built around a used look, this grade loses less than most finishes do.

Item type: pistol. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

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

Appearance in Field-Tested

The slide is painted in a rust-brown base with large cream and white patches across its top and upper sides, broken by black scuff marks towards the muzzle. The Magnum Research engraving on the side of the slide stays visible through the paint.

The paint thins along the slide edges, at the muzzle end and on the rear of the slide. The trigger guard may show first light marks. In game the wear blends into the oxidised theme and the overall colour scheme reads the same. The sides of the frame and the grip panels still look mostly clean.

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 brown, cream, black or muted orange match the rust base and pale slide patches. Placing them on the brown frame area keeps the white detailing on the slide visible. Matte or worn-looking stickers fit the distressed theme better than bright holographic ones.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since copies near the cleaner end of each grade show less chipping on the slide edges.
• Look at the slide edges, muzzle and trigger guard, which lose paint first.
• Remember that the scuffs near the muzzle are part of the artwork and not a sign of extra wear.
• Check stickers and name tag, as they change the look and do not always match the brown and cream palette.

Who the Field-Tested quality suits

• Players who use the Desert Eagle often and want a themed skin at a moderate cost.
• Buyers who like natural wear adding to the oxidised look.
• Conclusion: a good balance for a finish that already looks used.
