Souvenir Negev | Lionfish (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The Lionfish finish is a dense striped camouflage in red, cream and dark grey that wraps the receiver, the ammo box and the stock. In Minimal Wear any marks are small and sit on edges, so the busy stripes hide them almost completely. Most buyers will not tell it apart from Factory New in a match.

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: 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 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.

Tiny scuffs may appear on the muzzle tip and the sharpest edges of the carry handle. The ammo box, receiver sides and stock remain fully painted. At normal distance the gun looks the same as Factory New because the stripes mask small marks. Only close inspection reveals the difference.

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 look at before you buy

• 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 the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want a near-clean look without paying for the top grade.
• Crafters who accept tiny edge marks hidden by the pattern.
• A sensible balance between condition and cost.
