★ Bayonet | Freehand (Field-Tested)

The ★ Bayonet | Freehand in Field-Tested (FT) is a purple CS2 bayonet with white marker scrollwork along the blade. Covert rank, with the ★ mark. Both the Gamma Case and the Gamma 2 Case carry it. The finish's float scale stops at 0.48, so there are five wears, but the lower bands are short, and Field-Tested takes the 0.15 to 0.38 segment.

What the ★ Bayonet | Freehand looks like in Field-Tested

The blade is colored lilac and purple, with ornamental scrollwork in silver-white laid over it: curls, strokes and small marks that merge into one continuous drawing along the whole blade. The guard is bare light metal, and the handle is olive-gray with ribs. Valve says the knife was painted black and purple, then decorated with metallic marker.

For this wear of the ★ Bayonet | Freehand the float is 0.15 to 0.38. Wear shows on the tip and the cutting edge, where the paint and the drawing rubbed off first. It is locked in at drop, and the knife does not change after that.

• float: listings of the ★ Bayonet | Freehand between 0.15 and 0.38 differ noticeably in appearance;


• the applied name: a bayonet allows a name tag but takes no stickers;


• the listing name: the five wears are separate products, and the bands of the two lower ones are short, only 0.07 and 0.03.
