★ M9 Bayonet | Black Laminate (Factory New)

The ★ M9 Bayonet | Black Laminate (Factory New) is a Covert ★ knife finish built around a stonewashed blade and a black laminate handle. Factory New is the least-worn grade you can get, showing that stonewashed texture at its cleanest.

Design

Black Laminate keeps things understated — a stonewashed blade paired with a dark laminate handle, favoring a subdued, tactical look over bold color. It's a Valve-made finish that ships with no attached flavor text.

★ M9 Bayonet | Black Laminate (Factory New) Float and Wear

This finish spans the full float range, 0.00 up to 1.00, so Factory New represents the very low end of that scale. At this grade the stonewashed texture and dark handle both look their sharpest, with no scuffing visible anywhere on the blade. In float terms, this grade runs 0.00–0.07.

M9 Bayonet | Black Laminate Rarity

Rarity: Covert ★ — the gold-tier rare special ("knife") slot, ranked above any standard weapon grade a case can produce. That rarity is set by the item type itself, before wear even factors in.

M9 Bayonet | Black Laminate Case and Collection

No single collection houses this finish; it comes from the Gamma Case and the Gamma 2 Case instead. Across both, the rare-special ("knife") tier lands at roughly 0.26% per opening, so most copies reach buyers through the market rather than a fresh unbox.

M9 Bayonet | Black Laminate Patterns

The stonewash-and-laminate look is a fixed design — the paint-seed index doesn't change how it appears, so every copy carries the same finish in the same way. There's no "best pattern" or blue-gem seed to hunt here; wear and float are what actually separate copies.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ version of this knife exists, tracking confirmed kills permanently and carrying that count through any future trade. There's no Souvenir version at all — knives are never included in Major-tournament souvenir packages, regardless of case or collection.

M9 Bayonet | Black Laminate Price

Factory New sits at the top of the Black Laminate's own price ladder, and the finish overall lands in the mid-tier range among this knife's finishes — still a genuinely premium item, just one of the more accessible ones for this particular blade. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

What case is the M9 Bayonet Black Laminate in?

It drops from the Gamma Case and the Gamma 2 Case rather than one specific box. The rare-special ("knife") tier lands at roughly 0.26% odds from either case, which is why most buyers pick one up on the market instead of opening for one.

Is there a best pattern or seed on the M9 Bayonet Black Laminate?

No — the stonewash-and-laminate design is fixed, so the paint seed has no effect on how any copy looks. Every Black Laminate shows the same finish, meaning float and wear grade are the only real differences between listings, not a hunted pattern.

Does the M9 Bayonet Black Laminate have StatTrak?

Yes, a StatTrak™ version exists with a permanent confirmed-kill counter that follows the knife through trades and sales. There's no Souvenir version, since knives are simply never part of Major-tournament souvenir packages.
