★ StatTrak™ M9 Bayonet | Stained (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

This M9 Bayonet carries an uneven patina of charcoal and blue-grey that already looks weathered by design. In Field-Tested the light scuffs blend into the stains rather than breaking the look, and the bright edge remains clearly visible. It is the grade where the finish keeps its character at a noticeably more accessible level.

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.

How the skin looks in Field-Tested

The blade is covered in a forced patina of dark charcoal and grey patches with pale blue-grey blotches and thin lighter outlines between them. A polished strip along the cutting edge and the fuller hole stay bright and contrast with the stained metal, while the serrated spine runs dark.

Light scratches become visible on the spine, around the serrations and near the tip. The patina on the flat of the blade starts to look slightly duller, though the blotches keep their shape. At normal distance the knife still reads as a mottled dark blade with a bright edge. The guard and grip show only minor scuffing.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since copies near the cleaner end of a grade show fewer scuffs on the spine and tip.
• Compare the stain placement on the inspect screen, as some copies carry more blue and others more dark grey on the visible side.
• Look at the serrations, tip and blade edges, which lose the patina first.
• Check for a name tag if you prefer the default item name.
