About Souvenir Desert Eagle | Hand Cannon
The Souvenir Desert Eagle | Hand Cannon in Field-Tested is the gold-engraving covert finish on the Desert Eagle, dropped as a souvenir item from a Major Championship match. Hand Cannon shares the gold-on-dark engraving language with Chalice and the Lore-family knives, here applied to the Desert Eagle slide and grip with the heavy scrollwork that the Deagle's surface area can carry without crowding.
Why FT works on Hand Cannon
The Hand Cannon engraving sits on a dark base and is heavy enough to read at FT without the gold detail losing legibility. The wear at FT sits on the slide edges and the grip texture rather than across the central engraving, so the scrollwork pattern and the souvenir-sticker overlay both stay readable. FT is the credible budget tier for Souvenir Hand Cannon copies where the souvenir-sticker premium is the primary value driver and the wear tier is the cost lever for buyers who want a souvenir Deagle without paying the FN/MW premium.
Desert Eagle souvenir economics
Desert Eagle Souvenir drops command a distinct premium tier within the broader souvenir market - the Deagle is the marquee pistol slot in pro play, with iconic Major killshots that produce specific player-gold-and-team-gold sticker combinations. Hand Cannon souvenirs from notable Major matches (a Cologne final killshot, a Boston QF clip) sit at meaningful premiums over the Hand Cannon copies from earlier-stage matches. FT keeps the entry tier defensible for buyers building a souvenir-Deagle position without committing to FN-tier float premiums.
