Souvenir Five-SeveN | Monkey Business (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

Five-SeveN | Monkey Business turns the pistol into a banana: a bright yellow peel runs along the slide and curves down the front of the grip, with brown tips at the muzzle and the base. Minimal Wear is the cleanest grade this skin comes in, so the yellow stays even and the fine peel lines are easy to see. The blue trigger and the round fruit label on the grip keep their sharp colour.

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

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

The slide is painted as a banana: a saturated yellow peel with thin darker seams runs from a brown tip at the muzzle back along the top and sides. At the rear the peel bends down and follows the front strap of the grip, ending in a second brown tip at the base.

The yellow peel is almost untouched, with at most faint marks on the front of the slide. The seams, the brown tips and the fruit label all keep clear detail. In game the banana looks fresh and uniform. The grey frame and blue parts look new.

Minimal Wear quality — float range 0.1–0.15

The float of Souvenir Five-SeveN | Monkey Business ranges from 0.1 to 0.9; the Minimal Wear quality covers 0.1–0.15 — 6% of this skin’s scale. The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

Where the skin comes from: collection and case

Souvenir Five-SeveN | Monkey Business belongs to The Chroma 2 Collection, which holds 15 skins.

It drops from Chroma 2 Case (on sale since Apr 15, 2015).

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

Blue stickers echo the trigger and the fruit label and stand out well against the yellow slide. Dark or holo stickers fit the grey frame below the peel, and banana or monkey themed stickers suit the joke of the design.

What to check before buying

• Look at the float within the chosen grade, since wear starts at the muzzle and the top edges of the slide.
• Check the curve of the peel on the grip front, which shows wear early on worn copies.
• Check stickers and name tags, as yellow-heavy stickers can blend into the peel.
• Decide between StatTrak™ and Souvenir versions, as both exist for this skin.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Collectors who want the cleanest available banana.
• Sticker crafters who need an even yellow base.
• The best pick for a fresh look.
