★ M9 Bayonet | Safari Mesh (Factory New)

Skin overview

★ M9 Bayonet | Safari Mesh is a spray-painted camouflage finish in pale olive and sage green, broken up by dark grey mesh blotches and lighter patches. In Factory New the stencil edges stay crisp and the muted colours cover the blade evenly from tip to pommel. It suits a buyer who wants the classic M9 silhouette in its tidiest form while keeping a quiet field look.

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: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Factory New

The blade is covered in a pale olive and sage base with darker grey-black mesh blotches and lighter sprayed patches running from the tip to the guard. The serrated spine, the hole near the tip and the cutting edge carry the same camouflage, with the edge already showing a thin line of bare steel. The guard and the ring are painted in the same muted green, and the ribbed grip continues the mesh pattern with dark stencil marks between the ribs. On worn copies the paint goes first from the cutting edge, the tip, the spine teeth, the guard ring and the raised ribs of the grip.

The camouflage is complete, with crisp transitions between the green base and the dark mesh blotches. Only the thin steel line along the cutting edge breaks the paint. In game the knife looks even and clean from every angle of the inspect animation. This grade covers only a narrow band at the bottom of the float range.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since a low float keeps noticeably more paint on the blade than a high one.
• Look at the cutting edge, tip and spine teeth on the inspect screenshot, as these parts lose paint first.
• On worn copies compare how the green patches sit on the blade flats, because the pattern placement changes how much camouflage remains visible.
• Confirm whether the copy is StatTrak™ and whether it carries a name tag you want to keep.
