Bayonet | Blue Steel

Origin Story

The Bayonet | Blue Steel was introduced on August 14, 2013, as part of The Arms Deal update. Its in-game description notes that it has been cold blued, indicating a chemical treatment process that darkens the metal. This method gives the blade a distinct, deep blue-black appearance. The finish style is Patina, which allows for a gradual change in the metal's darkened surface across its wear tiers.

Bayonet | Blue Steel 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.
