MAG-7 | Sonar (Minimal Wear)

The MAG-7 | Sonar (Minimal Wear, MW) is a Mil-Spec Grade shotgun finish, lightly stenciled in turquoise. Minimal Wear keeps the blue detailing looking almost untouched, with only faint edge wear — a near-clean grade for less than Factory New (FN).

Design

The look is cool and understated: a light turquoise stencil applied across the MAG-7's body, a modern, futuristic touch that skips busy artwork. Community artist Meddy designed it, and it ships with a line from The Oni and The Valkyrie story: "You're right, losing is a new experience for me."

MAG-7 | Sonar (Minimal Wear) Float and Wear

On the 0.00 to 0.45 float scale, Minimal Wear falls in the second band. The turquoise stencil stays well defined, with light scuffing showing up only on the sharpest edges of the body and pump. It's a near-pristine grade where the blue detailing still carries the whole look.

MAG-7 | Sonar Rarity

Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade. That's the blue tier — the foundation of the standard weapon grades, sitting above the Consumer and Industrial classes and forming the most common of the case-drop tiers.

MAG-7 | Sonar Case and Collection

This finish belongs to The Glove Collection and is unboxed from the Glove Case, which launched with the Glove Case update in November 2016. As the most common tier in the case, the Mil-Spec class pulls at roughly 79.92% (a figure shared among its skins), keeping this finish plentiful.

MAG-7 | Sonar Patterns

Because the artwork is fixed, the paint seed changes nothing about the appearance — every Sonar carries the turquoise stencil identically. There's no seed lottery, no fade, and no blue gem to chase; wear and float are the only variables that matter when comparing copies.

StatTrak & Souvenir

There is a StatTrak edition, which tacks on a confirmed-kill counter; it comes out of the Glove Case as a scarcer, costlier drop, and the counter is permanent, following the item through trades and sales without ever being wiped. No Souvenir version exists — those are made only in Major-tournament souvenir packages, and this finish never appeared in one.

MAG-7 | Sonar Price

Minimal Wear sits a step below Factory New on the ladder while looking very close to it, making it the sensible value pick within Sonar's premium band among MAG-7 skins. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Minimal Wear better value than Factory New?

Usually, yes. The turquoise stencil still reads sharp at Minimal Wear, and the price sits below Factory New. Since this is a lighter finish that does show wear, the gap between the two grades is real but modest — a solid compromise between looks and cost for most buyers.

How much wear shows at Minimal Wear?

Only a little. You'll spot light scuffing on the sharpest edges of the body and pump, while the turquoise stencilwork stays crisp. The finish is a fairly light stencil rather than a dark coat, so wear is visible on close inspection but stays minimal at this grade.

Does Sonar have a StatTrak Minimal Wear?

Yes. A StatTrak MAG-7 | Sonar exists at Minimal Wear and other grades, all dropping from the Glove Case. It adds a kill counter that stays with the item permanently through trades and sales. Being the rarer variant, the StatTrak version costs more than the standard Minimal Wear finish.
