AK-47 | Red Laminate (Factory New)

The AK-47 | Red Laminate (Factory New) is a Classified rifle skin from the Laminate family, dressing the rifle's wooden parts — the stock, grip, and handguard — in a red-tinted wood laminate with a natural wood-grain texture. Factory New is the cleanest grade this finish comes in, so it's the crispest the skin ever looks.

Design

Red Laminate is part of the Laminate family: a red-tinted wood laminate applied to the rifle's wooden parts only — the stock, grip, and handguard — carrying a distinct wood-grain texture, while the metal parts are left unpainted. It's a Valve-crafted design that leans on warm, natural material rather than graphics, which gives it an understated look on the AK.

AK-47 | Red Laminate (Factory New) Float and Wear

This finish runs a float range of 0.06–0.80. Because wear on this finish lands mainly on the wooden parts, the look stays fairly consistent across floats — but Factory New is still the top of the ladder. At this grade the red laminate reads richest and the wood grain is at its sharpest, with no visible scuffing on the stock, grip, or handguard. If you want the finish at its very best, this is the grade to reach for.

AK-47 | Red Laminate Rarity

Rarity: Classified — the pink tier, second from the top of the standard weapon grades, just below Covert. It's a genuinely uncommon grade to pull from a case.

AK-47 | Red Laminate Case and Collection

The AK-47 | Red Laminate belongs to The eSports 2013 Collection and drops from the eSports 2013 Case. The Classified tier as a whole drops about 3.2% of the time from the case, and with the eSports 2013 Case long out of the active drop pool, supply is fixed — most copies are bought on the market rather than unboxed.

AK-47 | Red Laminate Patterns

The AK-47 | Red Laminate has no random pattern variation — the red laminate and wood grain sit the same way on every copy, so there's no paint seed or "blue gem" to chase. Wear and float are the only things that separate one Red Laminate from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ AK-47 | Red Laminate exists — it comes from the eSports 2013 Case and adds a confirmed-kill counter; it's a rarer, pricier drop than the standard skin, and the counter is permanent, carrying over when the item is traded or sold. There's no Souvenir version — Souvenir weapons come only from Major-tournament souvenir packages, and this skin's case was never a Major drop.

AK-47 | Red Laminate Price

Factory New sits at the top of the Red Laminate price ladder, since it's the top grade the skin comes in — a clear step above Minimal Wear. This is a high-end, grail-tier finish within the AK-47 lineup, and Factory New is the most sought-after grade of it. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Factory New worth the premium?

If you want the finish at its best, yes. Factory New shows the red laminate at its richest and the wood grain at its cleanest, with no scuffing anywhere on the stock, grip, or handguard. Because it's a high-end, grail-tier AK, the top grade commands the top price — so the premium is really about owning the finest copy.

Does Factory New look very different from lower wears?

Less than most skins. Wear on this finish falls mainly on the wooden parts, so the look stays fairly consistent across floats. Factory New is still the cleanest, with the deepest red and sharpest grain, but the gap to Minimal Wear is subtle rather than dramatic.

Which gloves go with the AK-47 | Red Laminate?

Its warm red-on-wood palette suits an earthy, red-toned loadout, so red or brown gloves work best — a red pair echoes the laminate tint, while tan or brown wraps play up the natural wood feel. It slots neatly into any warm, classic-looking AK setup.
