★ Bayonet | Freehand (Minimal Wear)

The ★ Bayonet | Freehand (Minimal Wear) carries the same black-and-purple base with a hand-drawn
metallic marker pattern over it. Minimal Wear sits just below Factory New on this knife's float
range, still keeping the linework close to fresh.

Design

The blade's look comes from a black and purple paint job overlaid with a metallic marker design
that reads more sketched than smoothly painted. No flavor text ships with this finish, so the
artwork carries the page on its own.

★ Bayonet | Freehand (Minimal Wear) Float and Wear

With the finish capped between 0.00 and 0.48, Minimal Wear lands a short step past the cleanest
grade — the marker pattern still shows clearly, with only the faintest softening compared to Factory
New. Since the whole range stays under 1.0, this grade is nowhere near what "worn" looks like on a
full-range knife. Minimal Wear occupies the 0.07–0.15 float band.

Bayonet | Freehand Rarity

Rarity: Covert ★, the rare special ("knife") tier that outranks every ordinary weapon grade dropped
from a case. That scarcity comes from the item slot itself, independent of which wear a given copy
happens to land on.

Bayonet | Freehand Case and Collection

Rather than sitting in a broad collection, Freehand comes specifically from the Gamma Case and the
Gamma 2 Case. Across either box, the rare-special ("knife") tier drops at about 0.26% per opening, so
most copies of this finish are bought rather than unboxed.

Bayonet | Freehand Patterns

There's no pattern to chase on Freehand — it's a fixed design, so the paint-seed index behind any
given copy has zero effect on how the black-and-purple base or the marker artwork appears. Wear and
float are the only variables that actually separate one Freehand from the next.

StatTrak & Souvenir

This finish also comes as a StatTrak™ edition, tracking confirmed kills permanently across trades
and sales. It has no Souvenir counterpart, since knives are simply excluded from Major-tournament
souvenir packages regardless of source case.

Bayonet | Freehand Price

Minimal Wear sits just under Factory New on the Freehand's price ladder, making it a slightly more
accessible way into the same design while still holding mid-tier standing among this knife's
finishes overall. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

How different does Minimal Wear look from Factory New on the Freehand?

Barely at all — since the float range only runs from 0.00 to 0.48, Minimal Wear still keeps the
marker linework and purple base looking close to fresh. The gap here is far smaller than the jump
between grades on a full-range knife finish.

How do I get a Bayonet Freehand?

It comes from the Gamma Case or the Gamma 2 Case, where the rare-special ("knife") tier lands
around 0.26% of openings. Given those odds, most players find it faster and cheaper to just buy one
outright on the market instead of case-hunting for it.

Is the Bayonet Freehand worth it at Minimal Wear?

Yes, if you want the design at a small discount off Factory New — the float cap means you're barely
sacrificing any visual sharpness for that lower price. It's a solid middle ground for anyone who
wants the near-mint look without paying the absolute top price on this finish's ladder.
