Souvenir Glock-18 | Shinobu (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The Shinobu finish puts a close-up portrait of a woman in SR Tech contact lenses on the Glock-18 slide, set against purple and violet tones. Minimal Wear keeps the face and eyes intact, with only faint marks that are hard to spot outside the inspect view. It gives nearly the same picture as the cleanest grade at a lower step.

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. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

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.

Light specks may appear on the slide top and the corners near the muzzle. The face, eyes and hair remain whole. At normal viewing distance in game the difference from Factory New is barely noticeable. The frame, grip and lavender parts 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.

Which stickers suit it

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 Minimal Wear

• Players who want a near-clean look without paying for the top grade.
• Crafters who are fine with marks that are hard to see.
• Conclusion: almost the full picture at a more reasonable step.
