Souvenir Sawed-Off | The Kraken (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

Sawed-Off | The Kraken pairs an orange octopus with teal water and gold swirls on the forend and receiver. Since this finish does not go past Well-Worn, this is its most worn look: visible chips at the edges and raised areas, while the central octopus is still clear. It suits buyers who want the artwork at the lowest grade available.

Item type: shotgun. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Covert is the top weapon rarity: usually the most prominent items of a collection or case.

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: Factory New, Minimal Wear and Field-Tested. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

Appearance in Well-Worn

The forend carries an orange octopus whose tentacles twist around it on a teal-green background with gold-outlined swirls and pale suckers. The receiver repeats the motif, with the octopus head and more tentacles spreading toward the trigger area.

Chipping spreads further from the forend edges and receiver corners onto the raised areas. The teal background near the edges shows more scratches, and some tentacle tips fade. Since the finish stops at Well-Worn, the artwork still reads as a whole in game. The octopus in the centre of the forend and receiver remains recognisable.

Well-Worn quality — float range 0.38–0.4

The whole float range of Souvenir Sawed-Off | The Kraken is 0–0.4; Well-Worn takes the 0.38–0.4 segment (5% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Origin of the skin

Souvenir Sawed-Off | The Kraken belongs to The Winter Offensive Collection, which holds 13 skins.

It drops from Winter Offensive Weapon Case (on sale since Dec 18, 2013).

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

Orange, gold and teal stickers match the octopus and sea palette. Placing them on the dark barrel or stock keeps the painting on the forend and receiver uncovered.

What to look at before you buy

• Check the float position within the wear, since lower values keep the forend edges cleaner.
• Inspect the front and rear edges of the forend, where chipping shows first.
• Look at the receiver corners near the trigger guard for paint loss.
• Check whether stickers or a name tag are applied and whether they fit the octopus artwork.

Who should buy Well-Worn

• Budget buyers who want this Covert skin at the lowest grade.
• Players who care about the overall art, not edge condition.
• An affordable entry to the skin.
