★ M9 Bayonet | Slaughter (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Slaughter turns the M9 Bayonet into a red, striped blade with a metallic shine under the candy coat. In Field-Tested the coat starts to give way at the tip, the cutting edge and the serrated spine, where steel shows through the red. The stripes and overall colour remain readable, so this is the most accessible way to own the finish.

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

Anodized Multicolored: several colours in the metal coating; it wears little, the colours only dull with use.

Appearance in Field-Tested

The whole blade is covered with a tomato-red candy coat laid over a zebra-like stripe pattern, where brighter pinkish bands alternate with darker crimson ones. The stripes run diagonally along the blade, from the tip past the finger hole down to the ricasso, and their exact layout differs from copy to copy.

Wear becomes visible: steel shows through at the tip, along parts of the cutting edge and across several spine teeth, and small scuffs can reach the flat of the blade near the edge. Copies near the top of the range also show light marks on the edges of the crossguard. In game the red and the stripes still dominate, and the damage reads as worn edges rather than a faded blade. The centre of the blade and the dark grip remain largely clean.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the grade, because low-float copies show noticeably less bare steel at the tip and spine.
• Look at the stripe layout in the inspect view, since some buyers value copies with clear, recognisable shapes on the visible side of the blade.
• Inspect the spine teeth and the cutting edge closely, as these parts lose the coat first.
• Check for a name tag and the StatTrak™ counter if either matters to you.

Who should buy Field-Tested

• Budget buyers who want this finish and accept worn edges.
• Players who mostly see the knife in motion, where the red and stripes still carry the look.
• The most affordable entry into Slaughter.
