Negev | Lionfish (Field-Tested)

The Negev | Lionfish (Field-Tested, FT) is a Restricted Negev skin with a spray-painted lionfish pattern in reds and marine bands, here showing honest use. Field-Tested is the most common and most affordable way to run the aquatic design.

Design

The look is all reef predator: a lionfish pattern of red-toned banding and fin-like streaks spray-painted across the Negev, an ocean theme in place of the usual camo. The design comes from community artist PTP and wears the caption "Just keep swimming."

Negev | Lionfish (Field-Tested) Float and Wear

Across a float band of 0.00 to 0.55, Field-Tested occupies the middle. At this grade the finish gathers visible scratching on the edges and around the barrel, though the busy banded pattern hides it reasonably well and the reds still read clearly. It's the everyday grade most owners settle on — worn in, but a long way from wrecked.

Negev | Lionfish Rarity

Rarity: Restricted — the purple tier, sitting mid-pack among the standard weapon grades and one step up from the common Mil-Spec blues. That makes it an uncommon drop with a bit more standing than the entry-level skins.

Negev | Lionfish Case and Collection

This finish is a Clutch Collection skin, dropping from the Clutch Case that arrived in February 2018. The Restricted tier returns at roughly 15.98% from the case (a rate the tier's skins share), making it a scarcer pull than the more plentiful lower grades.

Negev | Lionfish Patterns

No pattern lottery applies. The lionfish pattern is fixed, printed the same on every copy, so there's no paint seed to gamble on and no blue-gem alignment worth paying up for. Wear and float are all that distinguish one unit from the next.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ variant is out there, minted through the Clutch Case; it carries a confirmed-kill counter that tallies your frags and is never wiped when the weapon changes hands. There's no Souvenir version, since Souvenir skins come only from Major-tournament souvenir packages and this collection wasn't part of one.

Negev | Lionfish Price

Field-Tested is the value pick of the range — cheaper than the higher grades while keeping the aquatic look fully intact — which lands it firmly in budget-friendly territory for a Negev. It's the smart buy for players who want the design without overpaying for condition. Available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Does a Field-Tested copy look badly worn?

Not especially. There's scratching on the edges and near the barrel up close, but the dense banded pattern masks it well and the reds stay bold enough to read at a glance in-game. For the price, it delivers most of the visual punch of a higher grade.

Is Field-Tested the best-value Lionfish?

For most buyers, yes. It costs less than Minimal Wear (MW) and Factory New (FN) while looking nearly the same from normal distance, and it's the grade you'll find most often on the market. Only step down to Well-Worn (WW) or Battle-Scarred (BS) if you're chasing the absolute lowest price.

What case does the Lionfish come from?

It's a Restricted skin in The Clutch Collection, unboxed from the Clutch Case that released in February 2018. The Restricted tier drops at about 15.98% from that case, so it's a rarer pull than the common grades sitting below it in the same collection.
