Souvenir AWP | Black Nile (Field-Tested)

The Souvenir AWP | Black Nile in Field-Tested (FT) is a Souvenir rifle with a float from 0.15 to 0.38. It carries team stickers and a player signature. This is Mil-Spec rank, from the Anubis Collection. The Souvenir AWP | Black Nile comes in five wears.

What the Souvenir AWP | Black Nile looks like in Field-Tested

The body is dark olive and nearly black. A plant ornament is etched into the receiver and stock, including the thumb cutout: symmetrical curls and leaves. It is slightly darker than the background and reads as relief rather than color. The barrel is long and smooth, with no pattern.

Brass-gold rings are placed sparingly, three or four accents: on the muzzle end, on the scope rim and on the bipod mounts. Wear is fixed at the drop. In Field-Tested the dark layer along the crest of the stock and the ribs of the receiver is lighter and looks rubbed, without chips.

Where the Souvenir AWP | Black Nile came from

The skin was drawn by SayChains. In the Steam Workshop the work was submitted as "AWP | STRONE" on December 17, 2021, and in Valve's catalog the skin carries number 1239. The Anubis Collection opened in the game on April 24, 2023, and the Souvenir AWP | Black Nile was there from day one. Valve describes the collection as nineteen skins inspired by a new map in the Active Duty pool.

What to check before buying

Before buying the Souvenir AWP | Black Nile, check a few points:

• float: wear on the Souvenir AWP | Black Nile in this wear lies between 0.15 and 0.38;


• team stickers and the player signature: they show which tournament the package came from;


• stickers on the body of the Souvenir AWP | Black Nile, and a rename if there is one.

The artwork is applied identically to every copy. In this wear you can buy it with different amounts of wear, since the 0.15 to 0.38 band is wide.

What the Souvenir AWP | Black Nile costs in Field-Tested

In this wear the Souvenir version costs about 1.5 times as much as the regular one: the Souvenir status adds the premium. Among Souvenir copies the cheapest wear is Field-Tested, and the rest cost more:

• Battle-Scarred, 1.6 times as much;


• Minimal Wear, 2.3 times as much;


• Well-Worn, 3.6 times as much;


• Factory New, almost seven times as much.

Only two Souvenir AWP skins of this rank are priced in this wear. The Souvenir AWP | Acheron costs about a quarter less than the Black Nile, and nothing sits above the Black Nile.

Getting the Souvenir AWP | Black Nile

A Souvenir item comes only from a Souvenir package. Four packages contain this skin: the Anubis Souvenir Packages for Paris 2023, Copenhagen 2024, Shanghai 2024 and Austin 2025. A Souvenir item cannot be obtained by trade-up.

StatTrak and Souvenir

Souvenir items never carry StatTrak. This listing is the Souvenir version of the AWP | Black Nile, and the regular version has its own page.

Stickers and craft on the Souvenir AWP | Black Nile

The Souvenir rifle already carries the tournament's gold stickers, so fewer free slots remain. Neutral tones added next to them work better: they do not argue with the gold of the rings. The ornament shows only in glints, and large stickers do not cover it.

Who this wear suits

Buying the Souvenir AWP | Black Nile here makes sense under these conditions:

• you want a Souvenir copy with tournament stickers at the lowest price among the Souvenir wears;


• scuffing along the crest of the stock and the ribs of the receiver does not bother you;


• you are collecting skins from the Anubis Collection and need specifically the Souvenir version.
