Bayonet | ★ Vanilla

Origin Story

The Bayonet | ★ is a classic vanilla knife, introduced on August 14, 2013, as part of The Arms Deal update. This unpainted bayonet model features a bare steel blade and a dark grey or black handle, presenting a clean and timeless aesthetic. It stands out as a high-value item without relying on complex patterns or flashy finishes. Its appeal lies in its minimal, "OG" look, making it a recognizable status symbol within the game.

Drop Chance

Bayonet | ★ is a knife-tier skin, so standard Valve rarity odds don't apply. Knives drop at a combined rate of approximately 0.26% from supported cases before accounting for which knife type and finish you get. Valve doesn't publish individual knife or phase probabilities.

Skin Condition

Float range to . Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in all wear tiers.

• Factory New (No Recent Price): The bare steel blade and dark grey handle appear clean and evenly shaded, with the sharpest and brightest metal look this item can achieve.
• Minimal Wear (No Recent Price): Surfaces remain virtually indistinguishable from Factory New to most players, presenting as a mint vanilla bayonet with only microscopic surface wear detectable upon close inspection.
• Field-Tested (No Recent Price): The blade and guard might show a slightly less crisp appearance in close-up, with marginally more muted shine, but the knife still looks like a standard vanilla bayonet in game.
• Well-Worn (No Recent Price): Very small additional dulling of the metal surfaces compared to Field-Tested may be observable, but there is no dramatic visual degradation or color loss since the knife has no paint.
• Battle-Scarred (No Recent Price): Even at this tier, the knife retains its basic metal and handle appearance; any "battle-scarred" effect is limited to subtle dimming and possible micro-scratches that do not radically alter the overall look.

Model

★ uses the legacy Bayonet model, introduced with The Arms Deal on August 14, 2013. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.
