★ M9 Bayonet | Lore (Field-Tested)

The ★ M9 Bayonet | Lore in Field-Tested (FT) is a CS2 M9 Bayonet with a golden blade and an ornament of interlaced knots running along it. Covert rank, with the ★ mark. The knife sits in the Gamma Case and the Gamma 2 Case. The finish exists in all five wears, and its float scale runs from 0.00 to 0.65. The Field-Tested band lies between 0.15 and 0.38.

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

The blade is gold-yellow, with a band of fine knot ornament across it. Valve writes that the finish is painted with a weave pattern. The spine carries serrations, and there is an oval hole near the point. The handle is ribbed and dark olive, and the guard with its scabbard ring is dark gray.

In Field-Tested the gold has already been touched by wear marks. A skin's wear is set once, at the drop. In this wear the ★ M9 Bayonet | Lore takes in both 0.15 and 0.38, and lots at the two ends look different.

What to check before buying

Before buying the ★ M9 Bayonet | Lore, check the following:

• Float: it is what separates lots inside the 0.15 to 0.38 band.


• The point and the spine serrations: they show how much the gold has been touched.


• Applied name: if someone else's name tag is already on, it stays on the M9 after purchase.

There is no choosing by pattern on the ★ M9 Bayonet | Lore as such.

Who this wear suits

Buying the ★ M9 Bayonet | Lore in Field-Tested is worth it if at least one of these fits:

• You want a golden bayonet, and Factory New costs two and a half times as much.


• Your CS2 loadout is built on yellow and dark green, and the M9's handle echoes the second color.


• You want to compare lots by how worn the gold is: within 0.15 to 0.38 the spread is visible.
