Negev | Raw Ceramic (Minimal Wear)

The Negev | Raw Ceramic (Minimal Wear) is a Consumer Grade machine gun finish — a solid tan coat with a raw, unpolished texture. Minimal Wear keeps the surface almost untouched, with only faint wear at the edges of the pale base.

Design

The finish covers the Negev in a single tan color, favoring a coarse, industrial texture over any graphic or motif. Valve designed it, and it ships with the blunt in-game line "Restore by force."

Negev | Raw Ceramic (Minimal Wear) Float and Wear

Within a float band of 0.00 to 0.75, Minimal Wear takes a low slice, so wear stays light. A little scuffing may appear on the sharpest edges, but the tan coat stays largely uniform. It's the grade for buyers who want a near-mint look without paying the Factory New price on an already cheap finish.

Negev | Raw Ceramic Rarity

This is a Consumer Grade skin — the white tier at the bottom of the standard weapon grades, and the single most common rarity in the game.

Negev | Raw Ceramic Case and Collection

This skin belongs to The Boreal Collection, which arrived with the Spring Forward update in March 2025. Sitting at Consumer Grade, it's one of the most common finishes in the set, so it turns up constantly and cheaply on the market.

Negev | Raw Ceramic Patterns

There's no pattern to roll here — the finish is a solid tan color, so there's nothing like a paint seed or "blue gem" to chase. Wear grade and float are the only variables that set copies apart.

StatTrak & Souvenir

No StatTrak edition of this finish exists: StatTrak is added only when a skin drops from a weapon case, and Raw Ceramic is a collection finish. A Souvenir version is off the table too — those come only through Major-tournament packages, and The Boreal Collection was never part of one.

Negev | Raw Ceramic Price

Minimal Wear sits just below Factory New on the ladder — a slight discount for a look that stays close to mint, and it remains one of the cheapest finishes you can buy. Available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

How does Minimal Wear compare to Factory New here?

Very closely. On a plain tan finish, the faint edge scuffing at Minimal Wear is hard to notice, so the two grades look nearly identical at normal distance. Minimal Wear usually costs a touch less, making it a sensible pick when you don't need the absolute cleanest copy of a budget skin.

What kind of skin is Raw Ceramic?

It's a bare-bones, solid tan finish for the Negev — no graphics, no pattern, just a coarse, unpolished coat with a utilitarian, military feel. The flavor line "Restore by force" fits that no-nonsense tone. It's designed as a clean, understated look rather than a flashy showpiece.

Is Raw Ceramic rare?

Not at all. It's a Consumer Grade finish, the most common rarity in the game, from a recent collection — so supply is plentiful and prices are among the lowest available. Its appeal is a tidy, low-cost tan look rather than any scarcity or collector value.
