Souvenir Tec-9 | Cut Out (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

This Tec-9 carries a black shroud printed with silver butterflies and floral shapes, set against an undecorated grey lower half. Well-Worn copies show the pattern rubbed through along the shroud's ribs and front end, giving it an aged, faded texture. The motif is still identifiable, but fine details blur together.

Item type: pistol. 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.

Patina: an aged metal surface; wear is part of the design, so the gap between qualities is less visible.

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

How the skin looks in Well-Worn

The pattern sits on the long upper shroud and barrel area, where a black base is filled with silver-grey butterflies, leaves and flower shapes that form a lace-like texture. The receiver, trigger guard, grip and long magazine are left in a plain matte grey without any print.

Wear spreads along most of the shroud's ribs and around its openings, and fine details of the flowers start to merge. The magazine and the edges of the grip and receiver carry noticeable scratches. The pattern remains readable in the less exposed areas of the shroud. In game it looks faded and aged, though the dark-and-silver scheme is still clear.

Well-Worn wear: float 0.38–0.45

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, silver and white stickers continue the shroud's monochrome look without breaking it. Placed on the plain grey receiver, a single accent in a soft floral or pastel colour can echo the spring theme of the pattern.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since the shroud print loses contrast gradually across the range.
• Look at the front edge and raised ribs of the shroud, where the pattern rubs off first.
• Inspect the magazine and the edges of the grey frame for scratches on more worn copies.
• Check applied stickers and any name tag, as they change how the plain grey receiver looks.

Who should buy Well-Worn

• Players who like a faded, aged look on their pistol.
• Budget buyers who still want the pattern readable.
• A good fit for those who prefer character over cleanliness.
