MP9 | Rose Iron (Minimal Wear)

The MP9 | Rose Iron (Minimal Wear) shows the same hand-painted rose-and-thorn design one grade below the finish's cleanest state. It keeps the metallic artwork close to its sharpest with only minor wear.

Design

The finish centers on a rose-and-thorn motif hand-painted in metallic tones across several colors rather than a single flat shade. Jason, a community artist, created the design, and it comes with the flavor line "Beware its many thorns," a fitting match for its sharp, floral theme.

MP9 | Rose Iron (Minimal Wear) Float and Wear

Within Rose Iron's tight 0.00–0.30 float range, Minimal Wear sits just above the floor, so the wear is minimal — a slight softening at the edges of the rose motif, but the metallic colors stay bold overall. It's a solid step down in price from Factory New without much visual sacrifice.

MP9 | Rose Iron Rarity

This finish holds Restricted rarity, the tier directly under Classified, making it a genuinely uncommon grade among standard weapon skins.

MP9 | Rose Iron Case and Collection

Rose Iron comes from The Winter Offensive Collection and the Winter Offensive Weapon Case, both dating to December 2013. The Restricted tier from that case drops around 15.98% of the time, and since the case has left active rotation, the market is now the main source for copies.

MP9 | Rose Iron Patterns

Every copy of Rose Iron shows the identical hand-painted layout — paint seed has no effect on the design, so there's no rare version to hunt for. Only wear and float distinguish one copy from the next.

StatTrak & Souvenir

Rose Iron does have a StatTrak edition, which tracks confirmed kills permanently and carries that count through any trade or sale. It has no Souvenir edition, since Souvenir status requires a Major-tournament package and this finish was never part of one.

MP9 | Rose Iron Price

Minimal Wear ranks just under Factory New on the price ladder, staying within the same premium bracket while trimming a bit off the top price. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Minimal Wear a good alternative to Factory New for Rose Iron?

Yes, largely. The narrow float range means the visual gap between the two grades is small, so Minimal Wear keeps most of the rose-and-thorn design's sharpness for a bit less money. It's a sensible pick unless you specifically want the lowest float available.

What case does the MP9 | Rose Iron come from?

It drops from the Winter Offensive Weapon Case, released alongside The Winter Offensive Collection in December 2013. Restricted-tier odds from that case sit around 15.98%, though the case is no longer active, so most buyers get copies from the market.

Does Rose Iron have a StatTrak version?

Yes, a StatTrak MP9 | Rose Iron exists and adds a permanent confirmed-kill counter. There's no Souvenir edition, though, since the finish has never appeared in a Major-tournament souvenir package.
