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

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Well-Worn. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The slide carries the main artwork: a woman's face in pale pink tones with dark violet hair strands falling across it and detailed eyes with red-tinted lenses near the rear sight. The front of the slide and the muzzle area are covered in dark purple with fine hair lines, while the rear serrations are a deep violet.

Large patches of the slide are chipped down to bare metal, and the face can lose much of its detail, especially at the top of the range. Edges, muzzle and serrations are heavily worn. In game the portrait looks broken up, while the purple palette still identifies the skin. The grip texture and magazine base show scratches as well.

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

Purple, lavender, pink or holo stickers match the palette, and placements on the frame or rear of the slide keep the face uncovered. Dark or monochrome stickers sit well over the violet rear serrations without competing with the portrait.

What to check before buying

• Check the float position within the wear grade, since the face on the slide loses detail quickly as float rises.
• Inspect the eyes and face on the slide first, as that is where wear hurts the look most.
• Look at the slide edges and the muzzle, which show paint loss earliest.
• Review any applied stickers or a name tag, including souvenir stickers, as they change how the slide composition reads.

Who should buy Battle-Scarred

• Budget players who want this skin as an entry into the item.
• Collectors of heavily worn or unusual chipped copies.
• Conclusion: the cheapest way to own Shinobu, with the portrait largely worn away.
