★ Bayonet | Scorched (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Battle-Scarred Scorched is mostly bare steel with scattered remnants of grey and charcoal paint. The smoky pattern turns into a scuffed, almost unpainted blade, while the handle still carries its dark-and-olive grip. This is the most affordable way to get this ★ Bayonet in the inventory.

Item type: knife. Covert is the top weapon rarity: usually the most prominent items of a collection or case.

Spray-Paint: paint sprayed over the metal; scratches and scuffs appear early but look natural.

Other qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Well-Worn.

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The blade is covered in soft spray-painted patches of charcoal, mid-grey and off-white that blend into each other without hard borders. Lighter areas gather near the spine and along the cutting edge, while darker smoky bands run through the middle and towards the tip, around the long fuller groove.

Most of the blade is bare, scratched steel, with only scattered islands of grey and charcoal paint left on the flat. The edge, tip, spine and fuller rims are fully worn through. In game the knife reads as a scuffed silver blade with faint traces of the original pattern. The handle colours are still recognisable, with clear rubbing on the raised grip rings and pommel.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at where the float sits within the wear grade, since the cutting edge and tip show the difference first.
• Compare inspect screenshots, because the placement of the dark and light patches varies between copies.
• Check whether the copy is StatTrak™ and whether it carries a name tag, if either matters to you.
• On Field-Tested and more worn copies, check how much paint is left around the fuller and on the blade flat.
