Bayonet | Stained

Origin Story

The Bayonet | Stained was introduced on August 14, 2013, as one of the original knife finishes released with The Arms Deal update. Its visual identity is defined by a forced patina, created by dripping lemon and mustard onto the blade's surface, resulting in a tarnished, worn-metal appearance. It is generally considered a budget-friendly option for those seeking a bayonet knife.

• Field-Tested ($237.16): The patina becomes visibly darker and more irregular, with more extensive staining and less reflective metal, especially along the flat of the blade.
• Well-Worn ($216.60): The blade surface appears noticeably dull, with darker blotches and more uneven patina coverage, giving the steel a heavily aged look.
• Battle-Scarred ($222.03): The patina effect is strongest here, with the blade tending to be the darkest and most blotchy, resembling old, heavily tarnished steel.

Visual Theme

Patina: It has been given a forced patina using lemon and mustard dripped onto the surface. The blade features a tarnished steel look with mottled grey, silver, and muted brownish-gold patches. From a first-person view, the irregular stains on the upper blade face and the clean bayonet silhouette are the most visible elements. Community comparisons typically group Stained with other realistic metal finishes such as Boreal Forest, Rust Coat, or Urban Masked when discussing low-key or military-style knife looks.
