★ M9 Bayonet | Rust Coat (Well-Worn)

The ★ M9 Bayonet | Rust Coat (Well-Worn) is a Covert ★ knife finish, a memento from Siege whose exterior surfaces have visibly rusted while the blade stays fully operational. There's no Factory New for this one, so Well-Worn is the cleanest grade it comes in.

Design

Rust Coat leans into weathering as the whole point — a knife carried through Siege, its surfaces gone rusty while the mechanism underneath still works fine. It carries the flavor line "Scars build character."

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

This finish runs a float range of 0.40–1.00, so there's no Factory New or Minimal Wear at all — Well-Worn is as clean as a Rust Coat gets. At this end of the range the rust is present but not yet at its heaviest, sitting a notch back from the fully weathered look Battle-Scarred shows off. Well-Worn covers about 0.40–0.45 on the float scale.

M9 Bayonet | Rust Coat Rarity

Rarity: Covert ★ — this is the gold-tier rare special, the "knife" slot that outranks every ordinary weapon grade a case can drop, not a standard Covert skin. Getting one at all is the scarce part, independent of exterior.

M9 Bayonet | Rust Coat Case and Collection

Rust Coat comes from the Chroma line of cases specifically — the Chroma Case, Chroma 2 Case, and Chroma 3 Case. Across the rare-special ("knife") tier as a whole, the pull rate sits around 0.26% per case opening, which is why most buyers pick one up on the market rather than chase an unbox.

M9 Bayonet | Rust Coat Patterns

There's no paint seed or blue-gem chase here — the rusted look is identical across every copy of this finish, with no pattern variation to hunt. Wear and float alone separate one Rust Coat from another, which keeps shopping for one refreshingly simple.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ version of this knife exists and permanently tracks confirmed kills, carrying that count through any trade or sale. There's no Souvenir version at all — knives are never included in Major-tournament souvenir packages, regardless of case or collection.

M9 Bayonet | Rust Coat Price

Well-Worn sits above Battle-Scarred on Rust Coat's own price ladder as the cleaner of the two available grades, while the finish as a whole is the most accessible entry point to this knife — still a premium item, since knives are never cheap. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Does the M9 Bayonet Rust Coat have a Factory New version?

No — Rust Coat's float range runs from 0.40 to 1.00, which puts it entirely outside Factory New and Minimal Wear territory. Well-Worn is the cleanest grade this finish ever comes in.

Is there a rare pattern to look for on the M9 Bayonet Rust Coat?

No, this is a fixed design — the rusted surface looks the same on every copy with no paint-seed variation, so there's no blue-gem or special pattern to chase. Only wear and float actually differ between individual knives.

Does the M9 Bayonet Rust Coat have StatTrak?

Yes, a StatTrak™ version exists with a permanent confirmed-kill counter that follows the knife through trades and sales. There's no Souvenir version, though — knives are simply never part of Major-tournament souvenir packages, no matter the finish or case.
