★ M9 Bayonet | Stained (Factory New)

The ★ M9 Bayonet | Stained (Factory New) is a Covert ★ knife finish coated in a forced patina, dripped on with lemon and mustard to give the steel a mottled gray look. Factory New is the lowest-float, crispest grade available, showing that patina texture in its clearest, least-worn state.

Design

Stained gets its look from a forced patina treatment — lemon and mustard dripped onto the blade react with the steel to leave a mottled gray finish, no two copies patterned quite the same way. It even carries a fitting flavor line: "If you think it's messy now, wait until you see it under a blacklight."

★ M9 Bayonet | Stained (Factory New) Float and Wear

This finish spans the full 0.00 to 1.00 float range across all five wear grades. At Factory New the blade sits at the very bottom of that range, so the patina reads at its sharpest and cleanest before any wear starts softening the surface. In float terms, this grade runs 0.00–0.07.

M9 Bayonet | Stained Rarity

Rarity: Covert ★ — on a knife this means the rare special ("knife") slot, the gold-tier pull that outranks every ordinary Covert weapon skin in a case. That rarity comes from landing the knife slot at all, separate from wear.

M9 Bayonet | Stained Case and Collection

This finish isn't tied to one collection; it's an original M9 Bayonet option that has turned up in a long list of cases over the years, from the CS:GO Weapon Case through the Revolver Case and several in between. The rare-special tier averages around 0.26% per case opening, which is why most buyers grab one on the market instead of chasing the drop.

M9 Bayonet | Stained Patterns

There's no blue-gem tier or rare seed to chase on Stained, but the patina texture itself isn't identical from copy to copy — how the lemon-and-mustard mottling spreads across the steel varies with the paint seed, and sharp-eyed collectors do look for a cleaner, more even seed over a splotchy one. It's a subtler hunt than a fade percentage, but the variation is real.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ version of this finish exists, permanently tracking confirmed kills 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 finish.

M9 Bayonet | Stained Price

Factory New sits at the top of this finish's own price ladder, ahead of every other wear grade, though Stained as a whole remains the most accessible entry point among this knife's finishes — still a premium item, just the easier one to pick up. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

What case is the M9 Bayonet Stained in?

It's spread across a long list of cases rather than one, including the CS:GO Weapon Case, eSports 2013 Case, and Revolver Case among several others. With that many possible sources, most players just buy it directly on the market instead of opening cases hoping for the drop.

Does the pattern or seed matter on the M9 Bayonet Stained?

There's no blue-gem tier here, but the patina texture does vary by seed — how the mottled lemon-and-mustard staining spreads across the steel isn't identical on every copy. Collectors do look for a cleaner, more even seed over a splotchy one, so it's worth checking before buying.

Does the M9 Bayonet Stained have StatTrak?

Yes, a StatTrak™ version exists with a permanent kill counter that follows the knife through every trade or sale. There's no Souvenir version, though — knives simply are never handed out in Major-tournament souvenir packages.
