MP9 | Sand Scale (Well-Worn)

The MP9 | Sand Scale (Well-Worn) is the roughest condition this gray-and-tan custom paint job reaches, since the finish never drops to Battle-Scarred. It's the most affordable way into the design.

Design

Overlapping gray and tan tones form a scale-like custom paint pattern across the body, keeping the look earthy and low-key rather than bold. It's a community design from Damlil, paired with the line "We must prepare for retaliation - Felix Riley, Commanding Officer."

MP9 | Sand Scale (Well-Worn) Float and Wear

Sand Scale's float tops out at 0.45, well short of the full 1.0 scale, so Well-Worn is both the worst and the last grade this finish reaches — there's no Battle-Scarred version at all. Even here, the wear stays moderate: visible scuffing appears, but the scale pattern doesn't get buried the way a fully-capped skin's worst grade might.

MP9 | Sand Scale Rarity

Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade — the blue tier, one step above the most common rarity in the game. That places it in the middle of the overall scale rather than at either extreme.

MP9 | Sand Scale Case and Collection

This finish is unboxed from the Glove Case, part of The Glove Collection released in November 2016. Mil-Spec finishes like this one make up about 79.92% of that case's drops as a group, so it's a common pull for anyone opening Glove Cases.

MP9 | Sand Scale Patterns

There's no pattern variation to look for on Sand Scale — the scale layout is fixed and identical on every copy, so no seed number or blue-gem version exists. Wear grade is the only thing that changes between copies.

StatTrak & Souvenir

Both a regular finish and a StatTrak version of Sand Scale are available, the latter carrying a permanent confirmed-kill counter through trades and sales. No Souvenir version exists, since this finish has never been part of a Major-tournament package.

MP9 | Sand Scale Price

Well-Worn is the cheapest grade on the Sand Scale ladder, sitting below Field-Tested and Minimal Wear. It's the most budget-friendly entry point into an otherwise premium-tier finish. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Well-Worn as rough as Sand Scale ever gets?

Yes. The finish is float-capped at 0.45, so Well-Worn is the lowest condition it reaches — there's no Battle-Scarred version to compare it against. Even at this grade, the wear stays fairly moderate rather than extreme.

Is Well-Worn a good value pick?

For budget-focused buyers, yes. It's the cheapest way into this premium-tier finish, and since the float cap keeps wear from getting too severe, the scale pattern still comes through reasonably well.

Why does Sand Scale skip Battle-Scarred entirely?

Because its float range only goes up to 0.45, which falls short of the 0.45–1.0 span that Battle-Scarred normally occupies. The finish simply isn't produced with a float high enough to reach that grade.
