★ M9 Bayonet | Stained (Well-Worn)

The ★ M9 Bayonet | Stained (Well-Worn) carries the same mottled patina as the rest of this Covert ★ finish, now showing noticeably more wear on top of it. Well-Worn is the second-lowest grade on this finish's wide float range.

Design

The forced patina from lemon and mustard gives this blade its mottled gray look, and that texture stays the defining feature at every wear grade — no painted artwork sits on top of it. Only the visible surface condition changes as wear increases.

★ M9 Bayonet | Stained (Well-Worn) Float and Wear

Stained spans the full 0.00 to 1.00 float range, and Well-Worn sits well into the higher end of it. The patina is still visible, but the blade shows clear surface wear layered on top of the natural mottling at this stage. Well-Worn occupies the 0.38–0.45 float band.

M9 Bayonet | Stained Rarity

Covert ★ status puts this finish in the rare special ("knife") category, the gold-tier slot that outranks every regular weapon grade in a case. That rarity is fixed at the drop and doesn't shift based on wear.

M9 Bayonet | Stained Case and Collection

This finish spans a long list of cases rather than a single collection, including the eSports 2013 Winter Case, CS:GO Weapon Case, and Revolver Case among several others. The rare-special tier lands around 0.26% per case opening across the board, so most buyers skip the gamble and buy directly.

M9 Bayonet | Stained Patterns

Even at Well-Worn, the patina pattern still comes down to the paint seed, not just wear — some copies show a cleaner, more even mottling than others regardless of exterior grade. There's no blue-gem tier to hunt, but a well-seeded copy still stands out over a splotchy one.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ edition of this finish is available, tracking confirmed kills permanently through trades and sales. Souvenir versions were never made for it, since knives are never part of Major-tournament souvenir packages.

M9 Bayonet | Stained Price

Well-Worn sits near the bottom of this finish's price ladder, ahead of only Battle-Scarred, making it one of the cheaper ways into the Stained look. This finish as a whole remains the most accessible on this knife, though it's still a premium item overall. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

How worn does the M9 Bayonet Stained look at Well-Worn?

More than the top three grades — the surface shows clear wear layered over the mottled patina at this point in the 0.00 to 1.00 float range. The staining pattern is still visible, just with more general roughness on top.

Does a good seed still matter at Well-Worn?

Yes. Even with extra wear on the surface, the underlying patina pattern is still tied to the paint seed, so a cleaner, more even mottling can still make one Well-Worn copy more appealing than another. It's not as dramatic a difference as a blue gem, but it's real.

Does the M9 Bayonet Stained have StatTrak?

Yes, a StatTrak™ version exists and permanently tracks confirmed kills through every trade or sale. There's no Souvenir version, though, since that category only applies to weapons from Major-tournament packages, and knives never qualify.
