If your loadout skews low-key but you still want a hint of Eastern motif, weapon | 青竹伪装 (workshop lineage Tec-9 | Bamboo, internal cu_tec9_bamboo) is one of those Prism-era skins that quietly stayed in people’s inventories after the Seeing the Light drop. One line of official copy—“custom bamboo camouflage”—is enough: this is bespoke green camo layering, not a lore-heavy mural on the gun.

Quick specs for buyers

• Collection / case: Prism collection, mainly Prism Case drops and trades
• Rarity: Mythical (within the Prism set)
• Style: Custom hand-painted; author Graff via Steam Workshop
• Wear: 0.00–0.80 — Factory New through Battle-Scarred are all in play; the 0.8 cap is looser than skins capped lower, so listing prices scatter more by float and by how the bamboo reads in-game

Inspect before you commit

Hand-painted means brush transitions and color blocks should feel intentional, not a flat template—but your listing screenshot is not the contract. Spin the weapon in inspect and watch grip, both sides of the barrel, and anywhere your eye lands in combat POV. Bamboo edges and base green fade differently at high vs low wear: worn floats often look grayer and flatter; lower wear keeps sharper block boundaries and richer green. Decide whether you want “clean bamboo lines” or a deliberately beat-up camo look, then shop to that—not to hype.

Where to buy

C5GAME and the Steam Community Market are the practical lanes. Compare the same wear band across both when spreads look weird. Official copy ends with watch out for scams—treat that seriously: verify seller reputation, match inspect to the float, and walk away from “too cheap” FN listings with no proof.

Shopping verdict

Worth it if you want a clear bamboo theme, Prism pedigree, and Graff’s hand-painted vibe without a flashy flex skin. Skip or downgrade wear if you need pixel-perfect bamboo on every angle; pattern comfort is inspect-driven. Budget tip: because wear runs to 0.8, mid and high floats can be value picks for a daily Tec-9 if you like the faded look.

Editor’s aside

It’s not the esports meme skin of the month— and that’s the point. For a secondary pistol you actually equip, the combo of defined source (Prism, March 13, 2019), readable theme, and forgiving wear ceiling makes it an easy “buy once, stop scrolling” option—as long as you inspect like you mean it.
