★ Bayonet | Black Laminate (Minimal Wear)

The ★ Bayonet | Black Laminate (Minimal Wear) pairs a stonewashed blade with a black laminate handle, a Covert ★ finish that trades bright paintwork for a darker, tactical look. Minimal Wear sits just below Factory New across this finish's full float range.

Design

Rather than a painted graphic, this finish relies on a stonewashed blade texture next to a black laminate handle for its look. It's a Valve finish, and that handle material remains the standout feature at every wear grade.

★ Bayonet | Black Laminate (Minimal Wear) Float and Wear

With the float spanning the full 0.00 to 1.00 range, Minimal Wear lands early on, just past the cleanest end. The stonewashed texture and dark handle still look close to pristine here, with only the faintest early wear visible up close. On the float scale, Minimal Wear spans 0.07–0.15.

Bayonet | Black Laminate Rarity

Rarity: Covert ★, the rare-special ("knife") tier that ranks above every ordinary weapon grade found in the same case. That rarity is tied to the item type itself, not to which wear grade you pick.

Bayonet | Black Laminate Case and Collection

Two cases hold this finish: the Gamma Case and the Gamma 2 Case. The rare-special tier overall lands around 0.26% per case opened, so most buyers pick up the finish on the market rather than hunt for it.

Bayonet | Black Laminate Patterns

The stonewashed-and-laminate design is fixed across every copy, so there's no seed to hunt and no pattern variation to speak of. Wear grade and float number are what actually distinguish one copy of this finish from the next.

StatTrak & Souvenir

This knife also comes as a StatTrak™ edition with a permanent confirmed-kill counter that follows it through trades and sales. Souvenir versions were never made for it, since knives don't appear in Major-tournament souvenir packages.

FAQ

How much does Minimal Wear differ from Factory New here?

Not much — Minimal Wear sits early in the 0.00–1.00 float range, so the stonewashed blade and black laminate handle still look nearly untouched. Only very close inspection reveals the slight wear that separates it from a true Factory New copy.

Is Minimal Wear the smarter buy over Factory New?

For most buyers, yes — the visual gap at this end of the float range is minor, but Minimal Wear typically comes in below Factory New on the finish's price ladder. You get nearly the same look for less.

What case is the Bayonet Black Laminate in?

It's available from both the Gamma Case and the Gamma 2 Case, each carrying roughly a 0.26% shot at the rare-special ("knife") slot. Buying the finish directly is still the more common route for most players.
