Souvenir Glock-18 | Blue Fissure (Factory New)

Skin overview

Glock-18 | Blue Fissure is a hydrographic finish with a craquelure pattern: a deep blue slide over a grey frame and grip, both covered in a dark network of cracks. In Factory New the blue stays saturated and the crack lines are crisp from muzzle to grip. This is the grade for a buyer who wants the contrast between the blue top and the grey lower half to look the way the artwork intends.

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

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: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Battle-Scarred. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

Appearance in Factory New

The slide is painted deep blue and covered with a fine black craquelure, like cracked enamel, with the blue carried down onto the muzzle face. The frame, trigger guard and grip are a muted lilac-grey with a darker network of cracks, and small blue flecks show through along the frame and the textured grip panel.

The finish is intact on every part: the blue slide is evenly saturated and the black cracks are sharp. The grey frame and grip keep their fine crack texture and blue flecks without any scuffs. The muzzle and slide edges show no bare metal. In game the pistol shows a clean, bright blue top that stands out in first-person view.

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, white and silver stickers sit well on the blue slide and continue its cold palette. For contrast, small orange or gold accents work against the blue, while dark or grey stickers blend into the cracked frame.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at the float within the chosen grade, since a lower value keeps more blue on the slide edges and muzzle.
• Check the muzzle, the top edge of the slide and the rear serrations, as these lose paint first.
• Inspect the grip in close-up to see whether the crack texture and blue flecks are still intact.
• Note any applied stickers or name tag, because they change the look of the slide.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the blue slide and crack pattern without any marks.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean base with full colour.
• Conclusion: the best choice when appearance comes first.
