Souvenir Tec-9 | Bamboo Forest (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

This Tec-9 keeps its calm cream-and-green bamboo theme, but in Well-Worn the hydrographic is clearly broken up by bare metal on edges and raised parts. The contrast between the dark scratches and the light base gives the gun a weathered, used look. The bamboo motif is still obvious on the larger flat surfaces.

Item type: pistol. 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 Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Well-Worn

The receiver and barrel shroud are covered in a cream base with lime and pale green bamboo leaves and stalks applied as loose brush strokes, plus scattered dark specks. The ventilation holes on the shroud and the muzzle are dark, which frames the light front of the gun.

The front of the shroud and the muzzle are heavily scratched, and wear reaches the top of the receiver. The trigger guard and grip edges now show bare metal as well. Leaves on the flat receiver sides and frame remain readable but patchy. In game the gun looks clearly used, with the green pattern still identifying it.

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

Green, cream, white and black stickers sit naturally on this finish, as do paper or brush-style designs that echo the painted bamboo. Placing them on the receiver side keeps the leafy shroud visible.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since the cream base makes even small scratches visible.
• Look at the muzzle, shroud edges and top rail first, as these lose the print earliest.
• The hydrographic placement shifts between copies, so compare how the leaves fall on the receiver and grip.
• A Souvenir version exists, so check whether the copy carries stickers and whether they suit you.

Who the Well-Worn quality suits

• Players who like a used, weathered look on a light finish.
• Budget buyers who still want the leaves clearly visible.
• A choice for character rather than cleanliness.
