Souvenir Tec-9 | Rust Leaf (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Tec-9 | Rust Leaf pairs a dark, slightly greenish base with an orange leaf print that already looks weathered by design. In Field-Tested the scuffs on the edges blend into the rusty theme, so the pistol still reads as a coherent finish. The leaf pattern remains clearly visible across the whole weapon.

Item type: pistol. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Industrial Grade is the second tier from the bottom: common skins from drops and collections.

Spray-Paint: paint sprayed over the metal; scratches and scuffs appear early but look natural.

Other qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Field-Tested

The whole Tec-9 is covered in a dark grey-green base with orange leaves sprayed over it in overlapping layers. The pattern runs continuously across the receiver, the perforated barrel shroud, the grip and the long magazine, with no separate colour blocks.

Wear spreads along the shroud holes, the muzzle and the cocking knob, and light scuffs start on the top edge of the receiver and the bottom of the magazine. The orange slightly loses intensity in these spots. The grip and the flat sides of the magazine still carry a clean pattern, and in game the skin looks tidy.

Field-Tested wear: float 0.15–0.38

The whole float range of Souvenir Tec-9 | Rust Leaf is 0–0.5; Field-Tested takes the 0.15–0.38 segment (46% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Origin of the skin

Souvenir Tec-9 | Rust Leaf belongs to The St. Marc Collection, which holds 18 skins. It does not drop from a case: the collection has none — such skins come from operation drops, souvenir packages or the market.

What it costs in each quality

Among 6 skins of the Tec-9 in the Industrial Grade grade and this quality, this skin is the dearest.

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

Orange, brown, gold and muted green stickers blend with the autumn palette. Placing them on the receiver side keeps the leaf pattern on the shroud and magazine visible.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since copies at the clean end of a grade look noticeably better.
• Look at the shroud holes, muzzle and cocking knob, as these parts lose paint first.
• Souvenir copies come with fixed stickers, so make sure their look suits you.
• Check for a name tag or applied stickers if you plan your own craft.

Who should buy Field-Tested

• Players who want a coherent autumn-themed Tec-9 for everyday use.
• Buyers who like light wear that fits the rusty theme.
• A practical everyday pick.
