Souvenir Sawed-Off | Black Sand (Factory New)

Skin overview

Sawed-Off | Black Sand is a Mil-Spec Grade shotgun finish with a tan, olive and black military camo over a dark gunmetal base. In Factory New the camo bands on the pump and receiver keep sharp edges and full colour, so the warm stripes stand out clearly against the black metal. This is the grade for buyers who want the pattern exactly as designed.

Item type: shotgun. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

Custom Paint Job: hand-painted across the whole body; this is the type where wear shows most, the artwork rubs down to metal.

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

How the skin looks in Factory New

The pump forend and the receiver are covered with wide tan, orange-brown and olive camo bands separated by black, painted in loose brush-like shapes. The receiver side also carries small dark rectangular plates and a gear-shaped emblem within the camo.

The camo bands are intact, with crisp borders between tan, olive and black. The orange muzzle ring and the receiver emblem are fully coloured. In game the pump looks clean and saturated at any distance.

Factory New quality — float range 0–0.07

The whole float range of Souvenir Sawed-Off | Black Sand is 0–0.9; Factory New takes the 0–0.07 segment (8% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Origin of the skin

The skin’s collection is The Danger Zone Collection with 17 skins in total.

It drops from Danger Zone Case.

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

Stickers in tan, brown, orange, olive or black blend naturally with the camo. Placing them on the receiver side next to the emblem keeps the military look intact. Bright neon colours tend to clash with the muted palette.

What to look at before you buy

• Check the float within the wear range, since a low float keeps the forend edges and muzzle ring much cleaner.
• Look closely at the front of the pump and the receiver edges, as these lose paint first.
• Note whether the copy has stickers or a name tag and whether they suit the tan camo.
• Decide if you need the StatTrak™ version, which exists for this skin.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the camo with untouched edges and full colour.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean base for warm-toned stickers.
• The choice for anyone who wants the skin at its best.
