Souvenir Tec-9 | Phoenix Chalk (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

In Field-Tested the Phoenix Chalk pattern starts to look like real street graffiti, rubbed in places and scuffed at the edges. The muted brown, teal and pink palette hides light wear well, so the finish stays coherent. It is a practical way to own the look without paying for a pristine surface.

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, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Field-Tested

The whole pistol is wrapped in a hydrographic print of overlapping Phoenix Connexion graffiti tags in pale teal, grey and dusty pink on a dark reddish-brown base. The perforated barrel shroud and the receiver carry the busiest part of the pattern, while the grip shows the same tags at a larger, calmer scale.

Scuffs spread along the shroud holes, the muzzle and the top edges of the receiver, with grey metal showing in thin lines. Some chalk tags look faded or partly rubbed off. At normal distance the gun still reads as patterned brown with pale graffiti. The grip panels and the middle of the receiver remain mostly intact.

Field-Tested quality — float range 0.15–0.38

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

Muted stickers in teal, pink, grey or brown blend with the chalk palette and keep the graffiti theme. Paper or graffiti-style stickers on the flat side of the receiver work best, while bright holo or gold may overpower the subdued pattern.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since copies near the top of a grade look cleaner than those near the bottom.
• Inspect the barrel shroud and muzzle first, as the print wears off there before anywhere else.
• Look at how the graffiti falls on the receiver side, because the tag placement shifts from copy to copy.
• Check applied stickers and a name tag, since they change how the busy pattern reads.

Who the Field-Tested quality suits

• Players who like a street-worn graffiti look.
• Budget buyers who want the pattern still clearly readable.
• The balanced pick between look and cost.
