★ Bayonet | Tiger Tooth (Minimal Wear)

The ★ Bayonet | Tiger Tooth (Minimal Wear) is a Covert ★ knife finish built from an anodized orange blade hand-etched in a tiger stripe pattern. Minimal Wear is the lower of only two grades this finish reaches, still sitting close to the top of its narrow float range.

Design

The look starts with an orange anodizing pass, followed by a hand-etched tiger stripe pattern cut across the blade for a bold, banded finish. It ships with the flavor line "Like the tiger it is rare... like the tiger it is deadly..."

★ Bayonet | Tiger Tooth (Minimal Wear) Float and Wear

Because the finish is capped between 0.00 and 0.08, Minimal Wear is as worn as a Tiger Tooth Bayonet ever gets — a full-range skin at this float would already look rough, but here the blade still reads close to mint. It's a small step down from Factory New rather than a heavily aged grade. In float terms, this grade runs 0.07–0.08.

Bayonet | Tiger Tooth Rarity

Rarity: Covert ★, the rare special ("knife") tier that stands above every regular weapon grade in a case. That tier is scarce on its own, independent of which wear a given copy happens to land on.

Bayonet | Tiger Tooth Case and Collection

Rather than spreading across dozens of boxes, this finish comes from just the Chroma Case, Chroma 2 Case, and Chroma 3 Case. Across the board, the rare-special tier pulls at about 0.26% per case, which is why most copies change hands on the market instead of coming from a fresh unbox.

Bayonet | Tiger Tooth Patterns

There's no pattern to hunt on Tiger Tooth — the design is fixed, so the etched stripes land the same way on every copy regardless of paint seed. No blue gem, no fade percentage, nothing to chase beyond picking a wear grade and float you like.

StatTrak & Souvenir

This knife is also available as a StatTrak™ version, adding a kill counter that sticks with the item permanently through every trade or sale. Souvenir versions were never made for it — knives simply don't appear in Major-tournament souvenir packages, regardless of finish.

Bayonet | Tiger Tooth Price

Minimal Wear runs a step below Factory New on Tiger Tooth's price ladder, making it the more accessible of the finish's two grades while still sitting mid-tier among this knife's finishes as a whole. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Minimal Wear a big downgrade from Factory New on the Tiger Tooth?

Not really. Since the finish is capped at a 0.08 float, Minimal Wear still sits well inside near-mint territory — it's a modest step down, not a visibly worn skin. The visual difference is far smaller than on a full-range Bayonet finish.

Does the Bayonet Tiger Tooth have a rare seed or pattern worth chasing?

No, the design is fixed — every copy carries the same hand-etched tiger stripe pattern no matter the paint seed. There's no blue-gem chase or percentage to hunt here; picking between Factory New and Minimal Wear is really the only meaningful choice.

What are the best gloves for the Bayonet | Tiger Tooth?

The bright orange blade pairs well with warm-toned gloves like orange, tan, or brown for a matched look, or with black gloves if you want the blade to stand out on its own. For the best Bayonet Tiger Tooth glove combo, lean into those warm tones rather than clashing with cool blues or purples.
