Souvenir Tec-9 | Tiger Stencil (Factory New)

Skin overview

Tec-9 | Tiger Stencil puts smoke and sand tiger stripes on the barrel shroud, the top of the receiver and the magazine, over an otherwise plain grey-green body. In Factory New the stripe edges are crisp and the sand tone stays warm against the darker grey. This grade shows the stencil exactly as intended, with no chipping on the shroud holes.

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.

Solid Color: a single colour without a pattern; wear dulls it evenly and rubs it off along the edges.

Other qualities of this skin: Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Factory New

The receiver and grip are finished in a flat grey-green with a few copper-toned details such as the trigger and the bolt knob. Tiger striping in smoke and sand covers the perforated barrel shroud and runs along the top of the receiver, ending at a copper-coloured muzzle.

The finish is intact on every part, including the shroud hole rims and the magazine base. Stripe edges are sharp and the sand and smoke tones are clearly separated. In game the magazine stripes and the shroud pattern read cleanly even at a glance. The plain grey-green frame looks even and uniform.

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

Sand, tan, olive and brown stickers blend with the tiger stripes and the grey-green frame. Copper or bronze accents echo the muzzle and trigger. Placements on the flat receiver side stand out best against the plain paint.

What to check before buying

• Compare the float within the grade, since copies near the cleaner end show noticeably less chipping on the shroud.
• Look at the shroud hole rims and the magazine base, as these are the first places to lose paint.
• Souvenir copies come with pre-applied stickers, so check whether they fit the look you want.
• Check for applied stickers or a name tag, which may change how the item suits you.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the stencil with sharp, undamaged stripes.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean base under their placements.
• The grade for a full, unchipped camouflage look.
