★ Survival Knife | Scorched (Minimal Wear)

The ★ Survival Knife | Scorched (Minimal Wear) carries the same gray, sun-dappled paint job as its cleanest sibling, just one grade further into the float range. It's a way to get nearly the same look as Factory New while paying a little less for the copy.

Design

Scorched puts a mottled, sun-bleached texture over a gray base, skipping bold colors for a weathered, almost desert-camo feel. The knife ships with a flavor line credited to Valeria Jenner, Revolutionary: "The Phoenix is not a symbol of destruction... it's a symbol of rebirth."

★ Survival Knife | Scorched (Minimal Wear) Float and Wear

Minimal Wear covers the 0.07–0.15 stretch of the finish's 0.06–0.80 range, just above the lowest grade. The mottled pattern still reads sharp at this level, with only the faintest hints of handling visible up close if you go looking for them.

Survival Knife | Scorched Rarity

As a Covert-graded knife, the Scorched belongs to the rare special item category, the gold-tier pull that stands apart from the standard weapon-rarity tiers entirely.

Survival Knife | Scorched Case and Collection

This finish comes out of either the Shattered Web Case or the Fracture Case. Knives as a category drop at around 0.26 percent from those cases, a figure attributed to the rare special item tier rather than to any single finish.

Survival Knife | Scorched Patterns

Every copy of the Scorched carries the identical sun-dappled artwork — there's no seed-based variation, so hunting for a "best pattern" here is pointless. Only the wear grade and exact float change from one copy to the next.

StatTrak & Souvenir

This finish is available as a StatTrak knife, adding a kill counter that stays permanently attached through trades and resales. Souvenir versions don't exist for it, or for any knife, since that tag only ever comes bundled into Major-tournament souvenir packages.

Survival Knife | Scorched Price

Minimal Wear costs a step less than Factory New while keeping nearly identical detail, making it a smart middle option on the Scorched's ladder. Set against the knife's full finish lineup, this is a mid-tier pick — a genuinely premium blade without the top-end asking price. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Minimal Wear worth it over Factory New?

Often, yes. The visual gap is small since the mottled pattern still looks well-defined at this float, but the price difference can be meaningful. Buyers chasing the absolute lowest float should pay for Factory New; everyone else gets nearly the same look for less here.

How rare is pulling a knife from these cases?

Rare special items, including every Survival Knife finish, drop at roughly 0.26 percent from the Shattered Web Case and the Fracture Case. That rate applies to landing any knife at all — which specific finish you get is decided separately once the knife slot hits.

Is the Minimal Wear Scorched a good value pick?

It's one of the better-balanced grades on this finish's ladder — close enough to Factory New in looks, but priced a notch below it. If you want the design nearly intact without paying the top rate, this grade is worth a look before moving further down to Field-Tested.
