★ M9 Bayonet | Stained (Battle-Scarred)

The ★ M9 Bayonet | Stained (Battle-Scarred) is the most worn grade of this Covert ★ finish, showing the mottled lemon-and-mustard patina at its roughest. It's also the most accessible entry point into owning this knife.

Design

The forced patina, made from lemon and mustard dripped onto the steel, defines this finish at every wear grade — there's no separate painted artwork underneath. At the heaviest wear, that same mottling is still there, just visibly aged.

★ M9 Bayonet | Stained (Battle-Scarred) Float and Wear

Stained covers the full 0.00 to 1.00 float range, and Battle-Scarred sits at the very top of it — the most worn a copy of this finish can get. Since the range runs all the way to 1.00, this is one of the finish's harsher-looking grades rather than a milder capped wear. In float terms, this grade runs 0.45–1.00.

M9 Bayonet | Stained Rarity

This finish carries Covert ★ status, the rare special ("knife") tier sitting above every standard weapon grade in a case. That rarity is locked in at the drop itself, regardless of which wear a copy lands on.

M9 Bayonet | Stained Case and Collection

No single collection covers this finish — it's dropped from a long list of cases over the years, including the Winter Offensive Weapon Case, eSports 2014 Summer Case, and Revolver Case among others. The rare-special tier averages around 0.26% per case across the board, which is why the market is the more common way to get one.

M9 Bayonet | Stained Patterns

The patina pattern is still seed-dependent even at Battle-Scarred, though the heavy wear makes it harder to appreciate a cleaner mottling than it would be on a Factory New copy. There's no blue-gem tier here, just the general preference for a more even patina over a splotchy one.

FAQ

Is Battle-Scarred the cheapest way to buy the M9 Bayonet Stained?

Yes — it's the most worn grade on this finish's price ladder, and paired with Stained already being the most accessible finish on this knife, it's typically the lowest-cost way to own one. You still get the same patina motif as every other wear.

Does the M9 Bayonet Stained look very rough at Battle-Scarred?

It's the roughest this finish gets, since the float range runs all the way to 1.00 rather than being capped early. Expect heavier surface wear layered on top of the mottled patina compared to any of the cleaner grades.

What case is the M9 Bayonet Stained in?

It's spread across a long list of cases rather than tied to one, including the Winter Offensive Weapon Case, eSports 2014 Summer Case, and Revolver Case among several others. With that many possible sources, most buyers just get theirs directly on the market.
