MP9 | Sand Scale (Field-Tested)

The MP9 | Sand Scale (Field-Tested) shows the same gray-and-tan custom paintwork in the game's most common condition grade. It balances a solid look with a friendlier price than the top two grades.

Design

The finish blends gray and tan tones in an overlapping, scale-style custom paint job for a subdued, earthy appearance. Damlil, a community artist, designed it, and it carries the flavor line "We must prepare for retaliation - Felix Riley, Commanding Officer."

MP9 | Sand Scale (Field-Tested) Float and Wear

With a float ceiling of just 0.45, Sand Scale never reaches Battle-Scarred condition — Well-Worn is the roughest it gets. At Field-Tested, light scuffing starts to appear on the body, but the scale pattern is still easy to make out at a glance.

MP9 | Sand Scale Rarity

Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade, the blue tier sitting just above the most common classification in the game. It's a middling rarity rather than a scarce one.

MP9 | Sand Scale Case and Collection

This finish drops from the Glove Case, which arrived with The Glove Collection in November 2016. As a Mil-Spec skin it shares in the roughly 79.92% pull rate that tier gets from the case, making it one of the more common outcomes when opening one.

MP9 | Sand Scale Patterns

The scale design doesn't vary by seed — it's the same fixed layout on every copy, so there's no paint pattern or blue-gem variant worth hunting for. Wear is the only real differentiator between copies.

StatTrak & Souvenir

Sand Scale has both a regular finish and a StatTrak edition that tracks confirmed kills permanently through trades and sales. It was never included in a Souvenir package, so no Souvenir version exists for this skin.

MP9 | Sand Scale Price

Field-Tested lands in the middle of the price ladder, below Minimal Wear and Factory New but still within this finish's overall premium pricing. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Field-Tested a good balance for Sand Scale?

Yes, for most buyers. The scale pattern still reads clearly at this grade despite some light wear, and it typically costs less than Minimal Wear or Factory New while looking only slightly different.

Does Field-Tested show much wear on Sand Scale?

Some light surface scuffing appears, but nothing dramatic — the gray-and-tan design remains readable in-game. Since the finish caps out at Well-Worn anyway, even its roughest state stays fairly mild.

Can I get a StatTrak Field-Tested Sand Scale?

Yes, StatTrak is available across the finish's wear grades, including Field-Tested. It adds a permanent confirmed-kill counter and typically costs more than the equivalent regular-finish copy.
