★ M9 Bayonet | Lore (Well-Worn)

The ★ M9 Bayonet | Lore (Well-Worn) shows the knotwork design under a heavier layer of surface wear. This grade sits near the top of the finish's float range, one step short of the roughest copies.

Design

The blade's knotwork artwork stays the defining feature at this grade, even as extra wear starts to soften its edges. It's a Valve-made finish, shipped without any flavor text.

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

Because this finish is capped at a 0.65 float rather than the usual 1.0, Well-Worn here is milder than Well-Worn on a full-range knife — there's simply less room for the wear to escalate. It's a clearly aged grade, but not the extreme end of the scale. Well-Worn covers about 0.38–0.45 on the float scale.

M9 Bayonet | Lore Rarity

This remains a Covert ★ item — the rare-special ("knife") tier, ranked above every ordinary weapon-grade Covert a case can drop. That status is fixed by item type, not by how worn an individual copy is.

M9 Bayonet | Lore Case and Collection

No single collection applies here; the finish is pulled from either the Gamma Case or the Gamma 2 Case. Both put the rare-special ("knife") tier at around 0.26% odds, so buying on the market remains the more practical route for most.

M9 Bayonet | Lore Patterns

The knotwork pattern is fixed across every copy, so there's no seed-driven variation and nothing resembling a blue-gem chase on this finish. Float and wear grade are the only things that meaningfully separate one Lore from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

StatTrak™ is available for this knife, adding a permanent kill counter that stays with the item through trades and sales. It was never issued as a Souvenir, since knives don't appear in Major-tournament souvenir packages at all.

M9 Bayonet | Lore Price

Well-Worn sits near the bottom of the Lore's own price ladder, ahead of only Battle-Scarred, though the finish as a whole still holds grail-tier standing among this knife's offerings. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Does Well-Worn look much rougher than Field-Tested on the M9 Bayonet Lore?

Somewhat, but the gap is smaller than on a full-range knife finish, since Lore's float never exceeds 0.65. Expect more visible surface wear over the knotwork than Field-Tested, without the extremely battered look a 1.0-float skin can show.

Is Well-Worn the cheapest way to get the M9 Bayonet Lore?

No, Battle-Scarred sits below it on the price ladder. Well-Worn is still one of the more accessible grades of this finish, letting buyers own the same fixed knotwork design for less than the cleaner wears.

Is Well-Worn worth choosing over Field-Tested for the Lore?

Not for everyone — Field-Tested keeps the knotwork noticeably crisper for a modest price step up, since Lore's float never passes 0.65 either way. Well-Worn only makes sense if shaving the price further matters more than surface clarity, given the same fixed knotwork design carries through both grades.
