Negev | Anodized Navy (Factory New)

The Negev | Anodized Navy (Factory New) is a Mil-Spec Grade machine-gun finish built on a chrome base coat glazed with translucent navy-blue anodized paint. Factory New is the top grade this skin comes in, showing the deep metallic blue at its most reflective.

Design

The finish takes a chrome base coat and candies it in transparent navy-blue anodized paint, so the metal glows through the color the way a real anodized part would. It's a Valve-made design, leaning on that mirror-like sheen rather than any decal or graphic.

Negev | Anodized Navy (Factory New) Float and Wear

Float ranges only from 0.00 to 0.08 on this finish, which is why just two grades exist. At Factory New the chrome shine reads at full strength and the navy stays rich and glassy, with no scratching to break up the reflective surface. If you want the anodized effect looking its glossiest, this is the grade to chase.

Negev | Anodized Navy Rarity

Rarity here is Mil-Spec Grade — the blue tier, the entry rung of the standard weapon grades. It's a common pull, which keeps the finish easy to find and friendly on the wallet relative to higher tiers.

Negev | Anodized Navy Case and Collection

This finish belongs to The Assault Collection, introduced with the Arms Deal update back in August 2013. The collection has no dedicated case — copies come from in-game drops and trade-ups rather than from unboxing, so supply is tied to that older pool and most players pick theirs up on the market.

Negev | Anodized Navy Patterns

The design is fixed, so the paint-seed index changes nothing — the chrome-and-navy coat lands the same way on every copy. There's no "best pattern" or blue-gem seed to hunt; wear and float are the only things separating one from the next.

StatTrak & Souvenir

There's no StatTrak version of this finish — StatTrak is minted only through weapon cases, and this collection skin was never packaged in one. A Souvenir version doesn't exist either, since Souvenir weapons come solely from Major-tournament packages and The Assault Collection was never offered that way.

Negev | Anodized Navy Price

Factory New sits at the top of this finish's short price ladder as the cleaner of the two grades, carrying a high-end, grail-tier price among Negev skins despite the low rarity. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Why is a Mil-Spec Negev this expensive?

Because the Anodized Navy comes from an old, capped collection with no case feeding new supply, and the mirror-like anodized effect is a genuine standout on the Negev. Scarcity plus a striking look pushes it into grail-tier money even though its rarity tier is only the entry-level blue grade.

How does Factory New differ from Minimal Wear here?

Very little, because the float caps at 0.08 and both grades stay near-flawless. Factory New keeps the chrome reflection at its brightest with zero visible scratching, while Minimal Wear adds only the faintest edge wear. The gap is subtle, so buyers often decide on price rather than looks.

Which gloves match the Anodized Navy?

Its chrome-and-navy palette leans cool and metallic, so blue or dark gloves land best — a navy or steel-blue pair echoes the anodized tone, while black or gunmetal wraps keep the sleek, understated vibe. Pair it with other blue or chrome skins for a tight, color-matched loadout.
