★ StatTrak™ Bayonet | Case Hardened (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

Case Hardened gives the Bayonet a forged, uneven look, with blue and purple tones mixed into a yellowish metal surface. In Well-Worn the scratches are noticeable along the cutting edge, the tip and the guard, and the patina looks more weathered. The worn texture suits the finish, which already imitates treated metal.

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

Patina: an aged metal surface; wear is part of the design, so the gap between qualities is less visible.

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

How the skin looks in Well-Worn

The blade is covered in a mottled patina: a gold and ochre base with patches of steel blue and violet, concentrated here along the fuller and near the guard. The cross guard and the ribbed grip carry the same treated-metal finish in a paler olive-brass tone, with fine texture on the grip segments and the pommel.

Scratches are clearly visible on the edge, tip and spine and begin to spread onto the blade flat. The guard edges and the grip ridges look rubbed. The blue and violet areas are still present but look less vivid. From a normal distance the knife appears weathered, with the pattern still recognisable.

What to look at before you buy

• Check the pattern, because the amount of blue on the blade varies between copies and strongly affects the look.
• Look at the playside of the blade, since that is the side shown most often in game.
• Check the float position within the wear range, especially for scratches on the edge and tip.
• Note whether the copy is StatTrak™ or has a name tag, as these change what you are buying.

Who should buy Well-Worn

• Players who like the weathered look that suits a treated-metal finish.
• Budget-minded buyers who still want visible colour on the blade.
• A practical option for using the knife in everyday games.
