Negev | Palm (Well-Worn)

The Negev | Palm (Well-Worn) is an Industrial Grade machine gun finish — its gray, stencil-sprayed design shown in a more weathered state. It's a cheaper route into an Alpha Collection classic, with wear the muted base carries comfortably.

Design

Palm covers the machine gun in gray and layers spray-stenciled shapes over it — palm leaves, fine mesh, and cardboard cutouts. Presented in-game as a memento from Gwalior, it bears the line "Beautiful today...ashes tomorrow."

Negev | Palm (Well-Worn) Float and Wear

Across a 0.06 to 0.80 float range, Well-Worn sits in the upper portion, so wear is clearly visible — scuffing and paint thinning across the body where the gray loses depth. Because the finish caps at 0.80 rather than a full 1.0, even this grade stays a touch milder than a fully uncapped skin, and the stencil motifs remain readable.

Negev | Palm Rarity

Rarity sits at Industrial Grade — the light-blue tier low on the standard weapon ladder, which keeps the finish common and affordable.

Negev | Palm Case and Collection

Part of The Alpha Collection, this finish launched with Operation Bravo in September 2013. As one of the oldest operation sets, its drops ended long ago, so the supply is capped and the market is the only real source for copies now.

Negev | Palm Patterns

Because the gray base and stencil work are fixed on every copy, this finish carries no random pattern variation — nothing like a paint seed or "blue gem" to hunt. The only differences between copies come down to wear grade and float.

StatTrak & Souvenir

You won't find a StatTrak version of this skin: the counter is minted only on case-unboxed finishes, and Palm belongs to a collection. A Souvenir edition doesn't exist either, since those originate solely from Major-tournament packages and The Alpha Collection was never distributed at a Major.

Negev | Palm Price

Well-Worn sits near the lower end of the ladder, below Field-Tested and above only Battle-Scarred — a more budget-friendly path to a grail-tier design for players who won't pay the higher-grade premium. Available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

How rough does the Well-Worn Palm look?

Fairly weathered. Expect visible scuffing and paint thinning across the body, more than Field-Tested, though the finish's 0.80 float cap keeps it from reaching the most battered extreme. The gray base and stencil motifs stay recognizable, so it still reads as Palm at a glance in-game.

Is Well-Worn worth it over Field-Tested?

Mainly if price is the priority. Field-Tested looks cleaner for a modest step up in cost, so most buyers lean that way. Well-Worn makes sense when you want the Palm design as affordably as possible without dropping all the way to Battle-Scarred.

Does the stencil art survive at Well-Worn?

Yes. The palm, mesh, and cardboard motifs stay present at every grade — at Well-Worn the surrounding gray thins and scratches build up, so the finish looks weathered, but the stencil shapes remain legible. It's the base coat showing the wear, not the design detail disappearing.
