★ M9 Bayonet | Safari Mesh (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Safari Mesh is a low-contrast camouflage of olive greens and grey stencil marks, and it reads as a working field knife rather than a showpiece. In Field-Tested, bare metal starts showing along the cutting edge, the spine teeth and the tip, which fits the rough spray-paint style well. The green-grey camouflage stays easy to recognise at normal viewing distance.

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.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Field-Tested

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.

Bare steel shows clearly along the cutting edge, on the tip and across the spine teeth, and the guard ring starts losing paint. The raised ribs of the grip get first scuffs, while the recesses between them stay painted. The blade flats keep most of the camouflage, so the knife still reads as green in hand. Wear looks natural on this rough spray-paint finish.

Field-Tested wear: float 0.15–0.38

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.
