StatTrak™ AK-47 | Crane Flight (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The rifle carries an ink-style crane drawing, black brush lines on white and gold furniture details. Minimal Wear keeps almost the same bright look as the cleanest grade, with only faint marks that are hard to spot in game. It suits a buyer who wants the clean white-and-gold look without paying for the top grade.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Classified is the second-rarest weapon tier, only Covert sits above it.

Gunsmith: several techniques combined on one item; some parts rub off, others only dull.

The same quality also exists as the Souvenir version.

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

The receiver, handguard and magazine are covered in a white base with flowing black ink strokes, and the handguard carries part of the hand-drawn crane. The front sight, rear sight block, handguard fittings and the trigger area are finished in gold, while the barrel stays a light metallic grey.

Tiny marks may appear on the magazine edges and the tip of the handguard, mostly visible on close inspection. The ink lines and the crane drawing stay intact. In game it is practically indistinguishable from Factory New. The gold parts and the red circle on the stock remain clean.

Minimal Wear wear: float 0.07–0.15

Which stickers suit it

Gold, red and black-and-white stickers match the artwork and repeat the colours of the sights and the sun circle. Holo or gold stickers placed on the receiver above the magazine sit well against the pale base, while busy multicolour designs tend to clash with the ink drawing.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since the white base shows scuffs more easily than darker finishes.
• Inspect the magazine edges and the lower handguard, which wear first on this skin.
• Look at the gold sights and fittings for dulling on raised edges.
• Review applied stickers and any name tag, as they strongly affect how the pale finish looks.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want a near-clean look in game without paying for the top grade.
• Crafters who accept tiny marks visible only on close inspection.
• A sensible balance between appearance and cost.
