★ M9 Bayonet | Blue Steel (Factory New)

The ★ M9 Bayonet | Blue Steel (Factory New) is a Covert ★ knife finish built from a cold-blued blade, giving it a dark gray steel look with a cool blue undertone. Factory New is the cleanest grade this finish comes in, and here that blued surface reads at its most even.

Design

Blue Steel skips paint entirely — the blade is cold blued, a treatment that leaves the steel a deep gray-blue rather than adding any printed graphic. It carries the flavor line "This is the malbec of weapon design," a nod to the finish's understated, almost industrial look.

★ M9 Bayonet | Blue Steel (Factory New) Float and Wear

This finish spans the full 0.00–1.00 float range, so it can look anywhere from mint to heavily worn depending on the copy. Factory New sits at the very bottom of that range, keeping the cold-blued surface smooth and free of the scratches or discoloration that creep in at higher floats. Factory New occupies the 0.00–0.07 float band.

M9 Bayonet | Blue Steel Rarity

Rarity: Covert ★ — the rare-special ("knife") tier that ranks above every regular weapon grade pulled from the same case pool. Getting one at all is the scarce part; wear grade is a separate roll entirely.

M9 Bayonet | Blue Steel Case and Collection

Blue Steel isn't locked to one collection — it's one of the original knife finishes and turns up across a long run of cases, from the CS:GO Weapon Case through the Revolver Case and several others released in between. The knife tier as a whole lands around 0.26% per case opening, so most buyers pick theirs up on the market rather than chase that pull rate.

M9 Bayonet Blue Steel Patterns

The design here is fixed — there's no paint-seed index changing how it looks, so every Blue Steel shows the same cold-blued surface regardless of copy. That means there's no "best pattern" or blue-gem seed to hunt on this finish; float and wear are the only things that separate one from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ version of this knife exists, tracking confirmed kills permanently through any trade or sale. There's no Souvenir version, though — knives are never included in Major-tournament souvenir packages, no matter the case or finish.

M9 Bayonet | Blue Steel Price

Factory New sits at the top of Blue Steel's own price ladder, and the finish overall ranks upper-mid among this knife's finishes — one of the pricier ways to own an M9 Bayonet. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

What case is the M9 Bayonet Blue Steel in?

It isn't tied to a single case — Blue Steel is one of the original knife finishes and has appeared in a long list of cases over the years, including the CS:GO Weapon Case and the Revolver Case. That wide spread is why most buyers source theirs from the market instead of hunting one specific box.

Is there a best pattern or seed for the M9 Bayonet Blue Steel?

No — the cold-blued look is fixed, so every copy shows the same finish regardless of seed. There's no blue-gem chase or fade percentage here like on some other knives; float and wear grade are the only real variables.

Does the M9 Bayonet Blue Steel 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.
