Souvenir Five-SeveN | Berries And Cherries (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This Five-SeveN keeps the same red-to-blue slide that recalls police lights, so the idea survives at this grade. In Minimal Wear the colours stay rich, and the only marks are small scuffs on the sharpest edges of the slide, hard to notice in the hand view. It gives the same look as the cleanest copies with a slightly lived-in surface.

Item type: pistol. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. 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.

Other qualities of this skin: Factory New.

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The whole skin is concentrated on the slide: its front half, including the muzzle face, is coated in glossy anodized red, and the rear half with the cocking serrations is anodized blue. Between them sits a soft airbrushed gradient where the red darkens and passes into blue.

Light scuffs may appear on the sharpest edges of the slide, most often around the muzzle face and along the top corners. The rear serrations can show tiny marks on their raised tops, while the flat sides of the slide stay fully coloured. At normal viewing distance these marks are barely visible and the red-blue gradient looks the same as on cleaner copies. The frame and grip look unchanged.

Minimal Wear quality — float range 0.07–0.1

The whole float range of Souvenir Five-SeveN | Berries And Cherries is 0–0.1; Minimal Wear takes the 0.07–0.1 segment (30% of the scale). The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

Origin of the skin

The skin’s collection is The Control Collection with 19 skins in total. It does not drop from a case: the collection has none — such skins come from operation drops, souvenir packages or the market.

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

Red, blue or mixed red-and-blue stickers continue the light-bar idea, especially when red ones sit towards the front and blue ones towards the rear. Holo or foil stickers echo the glossy slide, while dark or monochrome ones blend into the grey frame without breaking the two-tone look.

What to check before buying

• Look at where the float sits within the range, since copies near the cleaner end show no marks on the slide edges.
• Inspect the muzzle face and the top corners of the slide, because the anodizing wears there first.
• Check the rear serrations for small marks on their raised tops.
• Note any applied stickers or name tag and whether they fit the red and blue colours.

Who should buy Minimal Wear

• Players who want the red-blue look for everyday use.
• Buyers who accept tiny edge scuffs that are hard to see in game.
• The practical choice for the same look with less concern for perfection.
