Souvenir Negev | Boroque Sand (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This Negev wears a baroque-style ornament in sand, teal and olive over almost every surface. In Minimal Wear the busy pattern hides the few small marks that appear on edges, so in hand it looks nearly identical to a fresh copy. It suits a buyer who wants the full ornament without paying for the cleanest grade.

Item type: machinegun. Consumer Grade is the lowest tier of the rarity scale: the most common skins, most often used in trade-up contracts.

Hydrographic: the pattern is applied as a film over the metal; wear rubs it down to the base, starting with raised parts.

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

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

The receiver, feed cover and handguard are covered in a dense ornamental print of pale sand yellow, teal and dark olive scrollwork. The long barrel and muzzle are finished in a plain sand-khaki tone that matches the base colour of the ornament.

Small specks can appear at the muzzle and on the sharpest edges of the receiver and magazine. The busy ornament masks them, so they are hard to spot without zooming in. All main panels, the stock and the dark accents remain clean.

Minimal Wear quality — float range 0.07–0.15

The float of Souvenir Negev | Boroque Sand ranges from 0 to 1; the Minimal Wear quality covers 0.07–0.15 — 8% of this skin’s scale. The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

Where the skin comes from: collection and case

The skin’s collection is The Canals Collection with 18 skins in total. It does not drop from a case: the collection has none — such skins come from operation drops, souvenir packages or the market.

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

Gold, sand and teal stickers blend with the ornament and keep the craft calm. Dark or matte stickers placed on the receiver side or the plain barrel area stand out better against the busy pattern than bright multicolour ones.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since the muzzle and magazine corners show the difference first.
• Look at the box magazine and stock edges in the inspect view to see how much of the ornament is left.
• A Souvenir version exists, so confirm whether the copy is Souvenir and which stickers it carries.
• Check applied stickers and the name tag, as they change how the busy pattern reads.

Who should buy Minimal Wear

• Players who want a near-fresh look while saving compared to Factory New.
• Crafters, since the busy pattern hides minor edge marks.
• A sensible balance of look and cost.
