Souvenir Five-SeveN | Neon Kimono (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Battle-Scarred turns the neon geometric slide into a rough mix of bright fragments, dark patches and bare metal. The khaki frame and grip look heavily handled, with dark wear around the edges and the base of the grip. It is the most affordable way to carry the colour scheme, at the cost of a clean pattern.

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.

Hydrographic: the pattern is applied as a film over the metal; wear rubs it down to the base, starting with raised parts.

Other qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Well-Worn.

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The slide is covered in neon yellow-green with a fine geometric diamond lattice and irregular black patches spread across its top and sides. The underbarrel rail and small controls repeat the neon in thin accents, tying them to the slide.

The slide keeps only fragments of the neon and lattice, mixed with dark patches and exposed metal along all edges. Rail accents and small controls are heavily worn. The frame and grip are scuffed around the edges with heavy darkening at the base. In game the pistol looks rough, with colour mostly on the slide sides.

Where the skin comes from: collection and case

The skin’s collection is The Rising Sun Collection with 16 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

Black, yellow-green and holo stickers sit well on the slide and continue the neon theme. Tan, olive or matte dark stickers suit the frame and keep it in line with the khaki body.

What to look at before you buy

• Check the slide edges, muzzle end and rear serrations, since these lose the neon first.
• Look at where the float sits within the wear grade, as a low float keeps the lattice noticeably cleaner in the middle grades.
• On Souvenir copies, check which printed stickers are applied and how they sit on the slide and frame.
• Check any applied stickers or name tag, because they affect how the neon slide reads.

Who should buy Battle-Scarred

• Players on the tightest budget who want this Five-SeveN in their loadout.
• Fans of rough, heavily worn finishes.
• Conclusion: the cheapest way to get the scheme, with a clearly damaged pattern.
