SCAR-20 | Palm (Minimal Wear)

The SCAR-20 | Palm (Minimal Wear) is an Industrial Grade autosniper finish with a gray, stencilled foliage look. Minimal Wear sits just below the top grade, keeping the palm-leaf pattern looking nearly untouched at a far more reachable price than Factory New.

Design

Made by Valve, the Palm gets its texture from a hands-on process: the gray finish was applied by spraying paint through cardboard cutouts, fine mesh, and palm leaves used as stencils. The result is a natural, low-key foliage pattern that has kept a loyal following since the earliest days of the game.

SCAR-20 | Palm (Minimal Wear) Float and Wear

Within the finish's 0.06–0.80 float band, Minimal Wear takes a low slice just above the Factory New floor. The gray stays even and the palm-leaf stencils remain well defined, with only the faintest wear on exposed edges. Since true Factory New is scarce and costly, Minimal Wear is the practical grade for a near-mint copy.

SCAR-20 | Palm Rarity

Rarity: Industrial Grade. That is the light-blue band, sitting one tier above the base grade. Low as that is on paper, the finish's vintage pedigree and steady demand carry its price far above what its rarity tier would imply.

SCAR-20 | Palm Case and Collection

This finish lives in The Dust Collection, an original set that launched with the Arms Deal update in August 2013. There is no case or key involved — Dust Collection skins circulate through drops and trade-up contracts — and its age means supply is limited, a key driver behind the finish's premium price.

SCAR-20 | Palm Patterns

There is no pattern lottery on the Palm. The paint seed does not move the stencilled leaves or mesh, so each copy is painted identically; no blue-gem or standout seed exists to chase. Float is the only variable that meaningfully sets copies apart.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak edition of this finish was never released, so a kill-counter version is not available anywhere. Nor is there a Souvenir edition, because Souvenir weapons come exclusively from Major-tournament packages and this finish never featured in one. Only the standard regular finish exists.

SCAR-20 | Palm Price

Minimal Wear ranks just under Factory New on the price ladder, but as a high-end, grail-tier finish the Palm keeps even this grade firmly in premium territory. It is the go-to for a near-mint copy without paying the Factory New scarcity tax. Available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Minimal Wear the smart buy on the Palm?

For most collectors, yes. True Factory New copies are scarce thanks to the 0.06 float floor and carry a steep premium, while Minimal Wear looks almost identical for meaningfully less. If you want a near-mint gray Palm without paying top scarcity money, Minimal Wear is the sensible grade to target.

Why does the Palm cost so much for an Industrial Grade skin?

Rarity tier and value do not always line up. The Palm is only Industrial Grade, but it hails from a rare 2013 collection with thin, aging supply, and it is a long-loved classic. That combination of scarcity and demand pushes its price well past most higher-rarity SCAR-20 finishes.

How was the Palm's pattern created?

Valve built the finish by spray-painting the gray body through real stencils — cardboard cutouts, fine mesh, and palm leaves — which is where the natural foliage silhouettes come from. That design is fixed across every copy, so the paint seed never alters it and there is no rare variant to hunt.
