Souvenir Five-SeveN | Silver Quartz (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The skin pairs a near-black body with a silver crystalline pattern that sits mostly on the slide, leaving the frame and grip plain. In Minimal Wear the look is practically the same as a clean copy, with only faint marks that need close inspection to spot. It is a sensible choice for anyone who wants the full quartz effect without paying for the top grade.

Item type: pistol. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

Anodized Multicolored: several colours in the metal coating; it wears little, the colours only dull with use.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New, Field-Tested and Well-Worn.

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

The slide carries the main artwork: a graphite base covered with a network of thin silver lines forming triangular crystal facets, with darker cloudy patches along its length. The frame, trigger guard and grip are a plain dark grey with a matte texture, which lets the faceted slide stand out.

Faint light marks may appear on the very front edge of the slide and around the muzzle. The crystal pattern stays fully intact and keeps its contrast. At normal viewing distance in game the difference from Factory New is hard to notice. The frame, grip and silver controls still look 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

Silver, holographic and black-and-white stickers keep the monochrome palette intact, while a single bright accent such as cyan or red stands out well against the graphite. Placing stickers on the plain frame preserves the crystal pattern on the slide.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the grade, since a low float keeps the slide edges noticeably cleaner.
• Look at the front edge of the slide and the muzzle, as these show wear first on this finish.
• Inspect how the dark patches fall on the slide, because their placement changes how busy the pattern looks.
• Note any applied stickers or name tag, as they change the clean monochrome look.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want a nearly clean look without the top-grade cost.
• Sticker crafters for whom tiny edge marks do not matter.
• A balanced choice between appearance and price.
