Tec-9 | Cut Out (Battle-Scarred)

The Tec-9 | Cut Out (Battle-Scarred) is the same Mil-Spec butterfly-and-floral pistol finish in its most heavily worn state. It's the cheapest way to own the design, for buyers who'd rather save money than chase a clean surface.

Design

The pattern is a dense spread of butterflies and floral details across the slide and grip, giving the Tec-9 a decorative, springtime look rather than a tactical one. It's a community creation by the artist Mia, tied to the flavor text "Spring has sprung."

Tec-9 | Cut Out (Battle-Scarred) Float and Wear

With a float range running the full 0.00 to 1.00, Battle-Scarred sits at the extreme worn end. Expect heavy scuffing, paint loss, and a generally rough surface across the body at this grade — the floral pattern is still identifiable, but it's clearly the roughest condition the finish comes in.

Tec-9 | Cut Out Rarity

Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade, the game's blue tier and the most common of the standard collectible weapon grades.

Tec-9 | Cut Out Case and Collection

This finish is part of The Operation Hydra Collection and drops from the Operation Hydra Case, both dating back to the Operation Hydra release in May 2017. As a tier, Mil-Spec skins make up about 79.92% of that case's drops, making the Cut Out an easy pull relative to the case's scarcer finishes.

Tec-9 | Cut Out Patterns

The Cut Out's paint seed has no effect on its appearance — the butterfly-and-floral artwork is identical on every copy, so there's no pattern rarity or blue-gem version worth hunting. Float and wear grade are the only meaningful differences between copies.

StatTrak & Souvenir

Separately from the standard finish, a StatTrak Cut Out exists that adds a permanent confirmed-kill counter carrying over through trades and sales. There's no Souvenir edition of this skin, since Souvenir weapons are only distributed through Major-tournament packages that this finish has never been part of.

Tec-9 | Cut Out Price

Battle-Scarred is the cheapest grade on the Cut Out's price ladder, the entry point for players who want the floral design without paying premium rates. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is the Battle-Scarred Cut Out still recognizable in-game?

Yes. Even with heavy scuffing and paint loss, the dense butterfly-and-floral layout keeps enough detail to read clearly at normal viewing distances. Battle-Scarred is about accepting visible wear for the lowest price, not losing the design.

What's the cheapest way to own the Cut Out?

Battle-Scarred is the lowest-priced grade for this finish, sitting at the bottom of its price ladder. If budget is the top priority over surface condition, this is the grade to buy.

Does the paint seed affect the Battle-Scarred Cut Out's look?

No. The floral artwork is fixed across every copy regardless of paint seed, so a Battle-Scarred Cut Out always shows the same layout — only wear and float set individual copies apart.
