Souvenir Glock-18 | AXIA (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The sporty look of Glock-18 | AXIA comes from glittering blue paint paired with a dark slide and bold black stripes. At Minimal Wear the difference from a fresh copy is limited to faint marks that are hard to spot without inspecting the model up close. It is a practical way to get an almost untouched blue Glock while stepping down one grade.

Item type: pistol. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Classified is the second-rarest weapon tier, only Covert sits above it.

Gunsmith: several techniques combined on one item; some parts rub off, others only dull.

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

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The top of the slide is left in dark polished gunmetal, while the lower half of the slide and the front of the frame are covered in bright blue paint with a visible metallic flake. Toward the rear of the slide and frame, black diagonal stripes and angular black shapes cut through the blue, and a small light AXIA logo sits on the side of the slide.

Light specks may appear at the muzzle and on the very edge of the slide. The flake and the stripes remain intact on the sides. At normal viewing distance it is practically indistinguishable from Factory New. The logo and grip graphics stay clean.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since chips at the muzzle and slide edges grow with it.
• Inspect the front of the frame and the slide edges, as these lose paint first.
• Look at whether the AXIA logo and the black stripes are still crisp on worn copies.
• Review any applied stickers and name tag, as they change the clean sporty look.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want a near-perfect look without paying for the top grade.
• Sticker crafts where tiny edge marks do not matter.
• A sensible balance between condition and cost.
