★ M9 Bayonet | Slaughter (Field-Tested)

★ M9 Bayonet | Slaughter in Field-Tested (FT) has a red blade with dark zebra stripes. Covert rank, with the ★ mark. The M9 Bayonet drops from eleven cases, among them the CS:GO Weapon Case, the Operation Phoenix Weapon Case and the Revolver Case. The scale of the finish stops at 0.26, so there are three wears: Factory New, Minimal Wear and Field-Tested.

What the ★ M9 Bayonet | Slaughter looks like in Field-Tested

By Valve's description, the zebra pattern is laid out in aluminum and chrome paint of differing reflectivity, with a tomato-red lacquer on top. The blade is raspberry-red, crossed diagonally by dark burgundy stripes. The handle is black with ring knurling, and the guard and pommel are a pinkish metal.

Wear settles first on the tip, the edge and the raised parts of the blade. For this finish Field-Tested runs into the ceiling of the scale: the band from 0.15 to 0.26 is 44 percent of its length. Above 0.26 the Slaughter does not drop on the M9 Bayonet, which is why the finish has no Well-Worn or Battle-Scarred.

What to check before buying

Before taking the ★ M9 Bayonet | Slaughter, look at these points:

• the wear in the listing title: Factory New and Minimal Wear cost more, and the finish never goes below Field-Tested;


• a name tag: a name can be applied to the bayonet, and it stays on the item after the purchase;


• float: the scale of this wear lies between 0.15 and 0.26.

The 0.15 to 0.26 band is tight, and copies at its far ends differ only by the number.

Who this wear suits

Buying the ★ M9 Bayonet | Slaughter here, in Field-Tested, makes sense under these conditions:

• you want a red blade with zebra stripes, and the premium for Factory New, about a fifth, is not worth it;


• it matters to you that the finish is the priciest among M9 Bayonets in this wear;


• your CS2 loadout is built around red, and the black knurling on the handle adds contrast.
