★ M9 Bayonet | Black Laminate (Minimal Wear)

Minimal Wear (MW) on the ★ M9 Bayonet | Black Laminate occupies only 8% of the finish's scale: 0.07 to 0.15 out of the full 0.00 to 1.00. In CS2 this Covert bayonet, with the ★ mark, drops from the Gamma Case and the Gamma 2 Case. The finish is built on a dark blade and a light handle.

What the ★ M9 Bayonet | Black Laminate looks like in Minimal Wear

The blade is dark gray, and the stonewash treatment leaves silvery streaks near the edge. The spine with its teeth and the round hole in the flat are visible at once. The dark guard and ring set off the light, ribbed, gray-beige handle.

In this wear you buy within 0.07 to 0.15. The edge and the saw teeth pick up scuffs first, while the handle stays even. Wear belongs to the copy from the moment of the drop: neither carrying nor time changes it.

Phase and pattern

The artwork is hard-set and never varies between copies. The finish has neither phases nor rare pattern indexes, so the one difference between two listings is float.

What to check before buying

In a ★ M9 Bayonet | Black Laminate listing, these are the parameters to check:

• float: the 0.07 to 0.15 stretch is short, and the difference between listings disappears into the margin;


• name tag: allowed on the knife, with no sticker slots;


• StatTrak: the version with a counter is its own listing and is priced on its own.

What the ★ M9 Bayonet | Black Laminate costs in Minimal Wear

Factory New costs 1.50 times as much. Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred each cost roughly ten percent less than Minimal Wear.

Among Covert M9 Bayonets in Minimal Wear, the finish stands nearer the middle: of twenty-eight, eleven are cheaper and sixteen pricier. Case Hardened and Blue Steel sit above it, Ultraviolet next to it, and Damascus Steel and Stained below. The peak of the row is Doppler Phase 2, Gamma Doppler Phase 2 and Gamma Doppler Emerald, and the floor is Safari Mesh, Forest DDPAT and Boreal Forest.

Getting the ★ M9 Bayonet | Black Laminate

The Gamma Case and the Gamma 2 Case are where it drops. Besides the cases, there is a craft from five Covert skins of one type: it yields a random rare special item, and the finish cannot be picked in advance.

Is there a StatTrak version

The game also offers a StatTrak M9 Bayonet | Black Laminate.

Who this wear suits

This wear of the ★ M9 Bayonet | Black Laminate is a sensible choice if:

• the blade should stay dark, with scuffing only along the edge;


• you want a clean-looking blade, yet Factory New costs half again as much;


• the finish is picked in CS2 to match gloves and weapons in a black and gray palette.
