AK-47 | Emerald Pinstripe (Field-Tested)

The AK-47 | Emerald Pinstripe in Field-Tested (FT) runs from 0.15 to 0.38, which is 23% of the scale. Its rank is Restricted and its collection is Bank. Among Restricted AK-47 finishes in this wear it is the cheapest of nine, and the wear itself sits in the middle of the skin's own ladder.

What the AK-47 | Emerald Pinstripe looks like in Field-Tested

This is a dark rifle: near-black metal and gray-brown wood with an open texture. The green ornament lies on the wood only, on the handguard, the upper handguard and the stock, and is made of two-color lines, bright green outlined in white or silver. They form leaves and curls, sometimes breaking off. The receiver and magazine are unpainted. Valve's description mentions an oak stock and white-and-green stripes.

The thin green lines on the raised edges wear off first, and in Field-Tested the ornament along the edges of the wood is already broken up. The main design in the middle of the handguard and stock stays readable. The condition is fixed at drop: Field-Tested does not get worse with time.

Where the AK-47 | Emerald Pinstripe came from

The skin was released on May 1, 2014, together with the Bank Collection. Valve's notes for the May 2014 update record the collection being added to the drop pool. The artwork was made in-house: no outside artist has a Steam Workshop submission for it. Its number in the finish catalog is 300.

What to check before buying

When picking this AK-47 | Emerald Pinstripe, pay attention to:

• the float, anywhere in 0.15 to 0.38: near the lower edge the green lines on the edges are still whole;


• how well the ornament survives on the handguard;


• stickers from someone else and a name tag left by a previous owner.

By float, this wear is the stretch from 0.15 to 0.38. Within it the skin visibly changes to the eye, so a listing is picked by its number. The artwork is the same on every copy, and there are no rare ones.

What the AK-47 | Emerald Pinstripe costs in Field-Tested

Factory New costs more than five times as much as Field-Tested, and Minimal Wear almost double. Toward the bottom the price hardly changes, since Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred sit only a few percent lower.

In the row of Restricted AK-47 finishes this skin in Field-Tested stands below all nine. Next come AK-47 | Breakthrough and AK-47 | Safety Net. Higher up are AK-47 | Midnight Laminate, AK-47 | Rat Rod and AK-47 | Slate. The row closes at the top with AK-47 | Blue Laminate, AK-47 | Orbit Mk01 and AK-47 | First Class.

Getting the AK-47 | Emerald Pinstripe

CS2 cases do not hold the AK-47 | Emerald Pinstripe, so only a trade-up is left. The player decides what goes into the ten Mil-Spec skins. Ten from the Bank Collection give exactly this finish, because there is no other Restricted skin in the set.

StatTrak and Souvenir

The AK-47 | Emerald Pinstripe has no StatTrak version, and no Souvenir packages were released for this finish.

Stickers and craft on the AK-47 | Emerald Pinstripe

The dark body suits light stickers: white and yellow artwork reads at once. A sticker blends into the green ornament on the wood, so a set looks more even on the bare receiver. In Field-Tested the ornament is already breaking along the edges, and a sticker covers less of an intact picture.

Who this wear suits

Field-Tested is worth buying on the AK-47 | Emerald Pinstripe in these situations:

• you want a dark AK for CS2 with a green accent on the wood;


• Factory New costs five times as much, and you still need the green lines on the handguard to read;


• the skin is taken for a trade-up at the lowest price in the CS2 row.
