Tec-9 | Cut Out (Field-Tested)

The Tec-9 | Cut Out (Field-Tested) brings the same butterfly-and-floral artwork to a Mil-Spec pistol at a more everyday condition. Field-Tested is the classic middle ground — some honest wear, still a fully readable design, at a friendlier price.

Design

The pistol is wrapped in a busy arrangement of butterflies and floral details across the slide and grip, a decorative, almost springtime motif. It's the work of community artist Mia, paired with the flavor text "Spring has sprung" that plays right into the theme.

Tec-9 | Cut Out (Field-Tested) Float and Wear

Across its 0.00–1.00 float range, Field-Tested lands in the middle. Expect light scuffing along the grip and edges of the slide, but the floral pattern's many small details mean the wear doesn't jump out — the overall design still reads clearly at typical in-game distances.

Tec-9 | Cut Out Rarity

Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade, the game's blue tier — common on the case's drop table, but a legitimate collectible finish rather than a stock skin.

Tec-9 | Cut Out Case and Collection

This finish is unboxed from the Operation Hydra Case and belongs to The Operation Hydra Collection, both tied to the Operation Hydra release in May 2017. Mil-Spec skins account for around 79.92% of that case's pulls as a tier, making the Cut Out a common find relative to the case's higher grades.

Tec-9 | Cut Out Patterns

The floral artwork on the Cut Out doesn't shift with the paint seed — every copy shows the exact same layout, so there's no pattern variation or blue-gem chase to worry about. Only the wear grade and float value change from one copy to the next.

StatTrak & Souvenir

This finish also exists in a StatTrak version, which adds a kill counter that's permanent and moves with the item through any trade or sale, on top of the regular finish. There is no Souvenir Cut Out — those only come from Major-tournament packages, and this skin has never appeared in one.

Tec-9 | Cut Out Price

Field-Tested is a step down from Minimal Wear in price while still showing off the floral design clearly, making it a popular pick for buyers who want the look without paying premium-grade rates. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Does Field-Tested hide the Cut Out's wear well?

Reasonably well. The busy floral pattern breaks up the surface, so light scuffing along the slide and grip doesn't stand out as much as it would on a plainer skin. From normal viewing distance in a match, the design still comes across clearly.

Is Field-Tested the best value grade for the Cut Out?

For most buyers, yes. It costs less than Minimal Wear or Factory New while keeping the artwork legible, making it the sweet spot between price and appearance. Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred go even cheaper if a lower price matters more than surface condition.

How rare is a StatTrak Tec-9 | Cut Out?

StatTrak copies are rarer than the standard finish, since only a fraction of Cut Out drops roll with the StatTrak variant. That scarcity, combined with the permanent kill counter, typically puts StatTrak copies above the regular skin in price.
