StatTrak™ Five-SeveN | Flame Test (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This Five-SeveN pairs a purple metal flake slide with a flame motif near the muzzle and a plain grey lower half. Minimal Wear copies look practically the same as Factory New in hand, with at most a faint mark on the front edge of the slide. For most buyers this grade gives the clean look of the finish without paying for the very top condition.

Item type: pistol. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

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

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred. The same quality also exists as the Souvenir version.

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The finish is concentrated on the slide: a deep purple base with metal flake that darkens towards the muzzle end. On the front part of the slide a stylised flame shape runs back from the muzzle, outlined against the dark base.

Wear, if any, is limited to tiny marks on the front edge of the slide or around the muzzle. The flame outline and the flake sheen remain intact. At normal distance in game the difference from Factory New is hard to notice. The grey frame and grip are still clean.

Minimal Wear wear: float 0.07–0.15

The whole float range of StatTrak™ Five-SeveN | Flame Test is 0–0.65; Minimal Wear takes the 0.07–0.15 segment (12% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Which stickers suit it

Silver, holo and violet stickers sit well with the purple flake slide and repeat the silver flame idea. Black or dark purple designs keep the look restrained, while placements on the rear of the slide or the grey frame avoid covering the flame.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at the front edge of the slide and the muzzle, since wear on this skin starts there.
• Check how clear the flame outline is, because it defines the look more than any other detail.
• Compare float position within the wear grade, as copies near the lower end keep more of the flake sheen.
• Note whether the copy is StatTrak™ or Souvenir and whether it carries stickers or a name tag.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want an almost factory look without paying for the top grade.
• Crafters for whom tiny marks on the muzzle edge are not a problem.
• A sensible choice for a clean-looking pistol.
