★ StatTrak™ Bayonet | Safari Mesh (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

★ Bayonet | Safari Mesh combines a soft green-khaki base with a stencilled mesh and a grey steel crossguard. In Field-Tested the spine and tip start to show bare metal, which suits the worn military character of the finish. The camo still reads clearly across the blade face and grip.

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, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Field-Tested

The blade is sprayed in pale olive and khaki tones with a fine mesh net pattern stencilled over it, visible as a hexagon-like grid near the tip and along the flat. The long fuller and the edge bevel carry the same paint, with slightly lighter and darker patches from the cardboard-stencil spraying.

Bare steel shows as thin lines along the spine and the cutting edge, with chips near the tip. The grip ribs and pommel get light scuffs. The mesh on the blade face and around the fuller still reads clearly in game.

Field-Tested wear: float 0.15–0.38

The whole float range of ★ StatTrak™ Bayonet | Safari Mesh is 0.06–0.8; Field-Tested takes the 0.15–0.38 segment (31% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the chosen wear, since a low float in the grade keeps the spine and tip cleaner.
• Look at the spine, cutting edge and tip in the inspect view, as these lose paint first.
• Pattern placement shifts the mesh only slightly, so it matters less than float for this finish.
• Decide whether you want a StatTrak™ version and check for a name tag if you prefer a clean name.

Who the Field-Tested quality suits

• Players who want the Bayonet model with a camo that still reads well.
• Buyers who like light wear that fits a military field finish.
• Conclusion: a balanced choice between look and cost.
