Souvenir Sawed-Off | Crimson Batik (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Crimson Batik dresses the Sawed-Off in a red and black leaf print with matching red furniture, and even worn down the colour scheme stays readable. The skin's float range stops short of the heaviest wear, so Battle-Scarred here means heavy rubbing on the metal rather than a fully stripped gun. It is the cheapest way to carry this red look.

Item type: shotgun. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. 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, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Well-Worn.

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The barrel, the receiver and the area around the trigger guard are covered with a crimson base overlaid with dark grey-black batik lines that form looping banana leaf shapes. The ribbed pump forend and the pistol-grip stock are finished in solid matte red with no pattern, which frames the busy print in the middle.

The barrel and receiver edges are heavily rubbed, with wide areas of exposed metal between the remaining leaf fragments. The forend and stock show clear worn spots on their raised parts. Because the skin's range stops short of the heaviest wear, the weapon still reads as a red shotgun in game rather than a stripped one. Pattern remnants survive on the receiver sides.

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

Black, dark grey and gold stickers sit well on the crimson batik and echo its dark leaf lines. Red stickers blend into the finish for a tonal craft, while white or bright accents are best kept small so they do not fight the busy pattern on the receiver.

What to check before buying

• Look at where the float sits within the wear grade, since a low float in a grade keeps the barrel and muzzle noticeably cleaner.
• Check the muzzle ring, the top of the barrel and the receiver edges in the inspect view, as these lose the print first.
• Look at any applied stickers and name tag, because they change both the look and the value of the copy.
