Tec-9 | Rust Leaf (Minimal Wear)

The Tec-9 | Rust Leaf (Minimal Wear) is an Industrial Grade pistol skin featuring a spray-painted orange leaf pattern. Minimal Wear keeps that pattern close to its full brightness while costing a bit less than Factory New.

Design

Overlapping leaves in a spray-painted orange finish cover the body, leaning into a natural, earthy aesthetic rather than a bold graphic statement. The skin's flavor text reads "Blood on the leaves."

Tec-9 | Rust Leaf (Minimal Wear) Float and Wear

Within the finish's 0.00–0.50 float range, Minimal Wear falls just above Factory New. The orange leaf design still looks vibrant here, with only the slightest softening at the edges compared to the top grade.

Tec-9 | Rust Leaf Rarity

This is an Industrial Grade skin, one of the more common rarity tiers, ranking below Mil-Spec, Restricted, Classified, and Covert.

Tec-9 | Rust Leaf Case and Collection

Rust Leaf is part of The St. Marc Collection, released alongside Operation Shattered Web in November 2019. As a collection finish rather than a case drop, its supply is tied to that operation's collection sources rather than an actively circulating weapon case.

Tec-9 | Rust Leaf Patterns

No pattern variation exists here — the leaf artwork sits identically on every copy of the finish, so there's no seed or blue-gem chase involved. Condition and float are what actually separate copies.

StatTrak & Souvenir

Only a regular version of this finish was ever made — no StatTrak and no Souvenir edition exist. Souvenir status is reserved for Major-tournament packages, and Rust Leaf has never appeared in one.

Tec-9 | Rust Leaf Price

Minimal Wear sits just below Factory New on the price ladder, giving nearly the same crisp leaf pattern for a slightly lower cost. It remains a genuinely affordable pick overall. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

How much does Minimal Wear save over Factory New?

The difference is modest since Rust Leaf sits at a lower rarity tier, but Minimal Wear still costs a bit less while looking nearly as sharp. It's a sensible pick if you want to save a little without sacrificing much visually.

Which gloves match the Rust Leaf finish?

Its warm orange, autumn-toned palette pairs naturally with brown or orange-accented gloves for a matching earthy loadout, while a plain black pair keeps things neutral and lets the leaf pattern stand out.

Is there a StatTrak version of the Tec-9 | Rust Leaf?

No, this finish exists only in its regular form — no StatTrak counter version and no Souvenir edition were ever produced for it, since Rust Leaf's collection was never tied to a Major tournament.
