Sawed-Off | Zander (Factory New)

The Sawed-Off | Zander (Factory New) is a Mil-Spec shotgun skin hand-painted to resemble a popular game fish, complete with a scale pattern. Factory New is the cleanest grade the finish reaches, showing the fish-scale detail at its sharpest.

Design

The finish is hand-painted to mimic a game fish, wrapping the shotgun in a fish-scale pattern that shifts across the body — a playful, nature-inspired take rather than a military camo. It's a community design by the artists G-99Factory and Puchara, and it ships with the fitting angler's line "This one's a keeper."

Sawed-Off | Zander (Factory New) Float and Wear

Float on this finish spans the full 0.05–1.00 range, and Factory New sits at the low end where the scale pattern reads crispest with no scuffing on the body. This is the grade to reach for if you want every scale sharply defined, before any wear starts to blur the fish-skin detail.

Sawed-Off | Zander Rarity

Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade — the blue tier at the entry end of the standard weapon grades. It's the most common band to see from a case, which keeps the finish easy to pick up.

Sawed-Off | Zander Case and Collection

The skin belongs to The Spectrum Collection and drops from the Spectrum Case, released in March 2017 with the "Take a trip to the Canals" update. The Mil-Spec tier unboxes at roughly 79.92% (a rate shared across the tier's skins), so it's the tier you're most likely to hit when opening the case.

Sawed-Off | Zander Patterns

The scale artwork is a fixed design — the paint-seed index doesn't rearrange it, so every copy carries the fish-skin pattern the same way. There's no "best pattern" or blue-gem seed to hunt here; only wear and float separate one copy from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak version of this skin exists, minted through the Spectrum Case, adding a confirmed-kill counter; it's a scarcer, pricier drop than the standard finish, and the counter is permanent — it never gets wiped when the item is traded or sold. There's no Souvenir version, since Souvenir weapons come only from Major-tournament packages and this finish was never offered in one.

Sawed-Off | Zander Price

Factory New sits at the top of this finish's price ladder as its cleanest grade, though as a Mil-Spec skin the whole range stays affordable mid-tier at most. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is the Factory New Zander worth the premium?

If you want the fish-scale pattern showing every scale sharply, yes. Factory New keeps the detail crisp with no scuffing, the best the artwork looks. That said, the busy pattern hides wear well, so a Minimal Wear or Field-Tested copy still reads clean for less if budget is the priority.

Which gloves match the Zander?

Its cool fish-scale palette of greens, blues, and silver suits a muted, natural loadout, so green, teal, or gray gloves work best — a green pair ties into the scale tones, while gray wraps keep the focus on the pattern. It fits a calm, cool-colored kit rather than a bright or aggressive one.

Who designed the Zander?

It's a community design by the artists G-99Factory and Puchara, hand-painted to resemble a popular game fish. Community skins like this are submitted through Steam's Workshop and picked by Valve for release, which is why the Zander has a more playful, illustrative character than a standard-issue camo.
