★ M9 Bayonet | Freehand (Battle-Scarred)

The ★ M9 Bayonet | Freehand (Battle-Scarred) is the most worn grade of this Covert ★ knife's black-and-purple, marker-drawn finish. It sits at the top end of Freehand's float range, which is capped well under a full-range skin's maximum.

Design

The finish pairs a black and purple base with loose metallic-marker line work rather than a printed graphic, giving it a hand-scrawled feel. That design doesn't change between grades — only the amount of wear visible on top of it does.

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

Freehand's float tops out at 0.48, well short of the 1.0 ceiling a full-range skin can reach, so Battle-Scarred here is the worst this finish gets rather than an extreme case of damage. Expect the most visible scuffing and edge wear of any Freehand grade, though it stays milder than a maxed-out float on a different finish. On the float scale, Battle-Scarred spans 0.45–0.48.

M9 Bayonet | Freehand Rarity

Freehand carries Covert ★ rarity, the rare-special ("knife") tier that stands above regular weapon grades in the same case pool. Wear grade doesn't factor into that rarity at all — it's set the instant the knife slot itself is pulled.

M9 Bayonet | Freehand Case and Collection

No single collection covers this finish — it's sourced from the Gamma Case and the Gamma 2 Case. Both cases put the knife tier at around 0.26% per opening, and given how uncommon that pull is, the market is where most Battle-Scarred copies actually come from.

M9 Bayonet Freehand Patterns

Freehand's design is fixed, meaning the marker artwork looks the same on this Battle-Scarred copy as it does on a Factory New one — there's no seed-based variation to hunt. Wear is genuinely the only visual difference between grades here.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ version of this knife exists and tracks kills for good, without ever losing that count through trades or sales. There's no Souvenir edition, as knives are never distributed in Major-tournament souvenir packages.

FAQ

Is Battle-Scarred on the M9 Bayonet Freehand as beat-up as it sounds?

Not quite. Because Freehand's float never goes past 0.48, this grade stops short of the extreme wear a full-range skin's Battle-Scarred can show. It's the roughest Freehand gets, but it's a milder kind of rough.

What's the cheapest M9 Bayonet Freehand grade to buy?

Battle-Scarred sits at the bottom of Freehand's price ladder, making it the least expensive way into this already-accessible finish. It's still a premium knife overall, just the most budget-friendly grade this particular finish offers.

Does the M9 Bayonet Freehand have StatTrak or Souvenir versions?

StatTrak™ is available and keeps a permanent kill count on the knife through every trade. Souvenir does not exist for it, since knives are never handed out in Major-tournament souvenir packages regardless of case or wear.
