Souvenir Negev | Lionfish (Factory New)

Skin overview

Negev | Lionfish covers the machine gun in red-orange paint crossed by wavy cream stripes with dark outlines, a motif that recalls the fins of a lionfish. In Factory New the stripes keep sharp edges and the red stays even from the muzzle shroud to the stock. This is the condition for a buyer who wants the pattern exactly as designed.

Item type: machinegun. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

Spray-Paint: paint sprayed over the metal; scratches and scuffs appear early but look natural.

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

Appearance in Factory New

The whole Negev is covered in a red-orange base with wavy cream stripes, each outlined in dark grey, forming a lionfish-like striped camouflage. The pattern runs over the barrel shroud, the receiver and carry handle, continues across the large ammo box and ends on the skeletal stock, while the muzzle and parts of the barrel stay dark metal.

The paint is intact on every part, from the muzzle shroud to the stock. Cream stripes have crisp edges and the dark outlines are clean. In game the gun shows a bright, even red with no metal breaking through. Nothing on this copy needs to be checked for chips.

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

Red, gold, cream or black stickers blend with the striped palette, while a single bright accent reads well on the receiver side. The ammo box is busy with stripes, so simple shapes placed along the receiver keep the craft clean.

What to check before buying

• Look at the float position within the wear grade, since a low float in Field-Tested can look close to Minimal Wear.
• Check stripe placement on the ammo box and receiver, as the randomized pattern changes how each copy looks.
• Inspect the muzzle, carry handle and ammo box corners, which lose paint first.
• Check applied stickers and name tag, because they change the look and resale appeal.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the stripes and red base in perfect condition.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean canvas without chips.
• The choice for a flawless look.
