The Glock-18 | Shinobu (Factory New, FN) is a Classified pistol skin — anime art of a woman printed across the slide in soft pastels with crisp outlines. Factory New is the top grade, showing the character work at its sharpest and most vivid.

Design

Created by the community artist Horameow, Shinobu leans on delicate anime linework and a gentle pastel palette rather than heavy graphics. The slide carries a custom-painted woman wearing SR Tech "Premium" contact lenses, and the finish ships with a playful in-game line: "SR Tech—helping you stay focused one engagement at a time."

Glock-18 | Shinobu (Factory New) Float and Wear

Shinobu runs the full float range of 0.00–1.00, and Factory New sits at the very bottom of it. At this level the pastel shading is fully saturated, the outlines are legible edge to edge, and there's no scratching or paint loss to speak of. For anyone who wants the artwork exactly as intended, this is the grade to reach for.

Glock-18 | Shinobu 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.

Glock-18 | Shinobu Case and Collection

The skin belongs to The Fever Collection and drops from the Fever Case, released with the Spring Forward update in March 2025. The Classified tier as a whole unboxes about 3.2% of the time from the case (that rate is shared across the tier's skins), so pulling this exact finish is a fair bit rarer than the number alone suggests.

Glock-18 | Shinobu Patterns

There's no random pattern variation on Shinobu — the anime print lands the same way on every copy, so there's no paint seed or "blue gem" to hunt down. Wear and float are the only things that separate one copy from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ version exists and drops from the Fever Case, adding a confirmed-kill counter; it's a rarer, pricier find than the standard skin, and the counter is permanent, carrying over when the item is traded or sold. There's no Souvenir edition — Souvenir weapons come only from Major-tournament souvenir packages, and the Fever Case has never been a Major drop.

Glock-18 | Shinobu Price

Factory New sits at the top of Shinobu's price ladder as the cleanest available grade, a clear step above Minimal Wear (MW). Even so, it stays in affordable mid-tier territory for the Glock-18, so the best condition here doesn't demand grail money. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Factory New worth it over Minimal Wear?

If you want the artwork at its best, yes. Factory New keeps the pastel shading fully saturated and the outlines razor-sharp with zero visible wear. Minimal Wear looks very close for less, so it comes down to whether flawless condition matters enough to pay the top-grade premium.

Which gloves go with Shinobu?

The soft pastel artwork suits a light, playful loadout, so pale or pastel gloves work best — think white, cream, or gently colored wraps that echo the skin's palette rather than clashing with it. Muted rose or lavender pairs also pick up the character's tones nicely.

Does StatTrak change how it looks?

Only slightly. StatTrak adds a small kill-counter window on the slide but leaves the anime print itself untouched, so the design reads the same. The counter is permanent and tracks confirmed kills for as long as you own the pistol.
