M9 Bayonet | ★ Vanilla

Origin Story

The M9 Bayonet | ★ is a classic, status-symbol knife, recognized as one of the original "clean metal" vanilla blades from the game's early days. Introduced on August 14, 2013, with The Arms Deal update, this knife quickly became a sought-after item. Its unpainted steel blade offers a neutral and timeless appearance, allowing it to complement a wide array of loadouts. This enduring appeal, combined with its age and rarity, positions it as a prestige item for long-term collectors.

Drop Chance

M9 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.

Sticker Compatibility

As a knife skin, the M9 Bayonet | ★ does not have any sticker slots, meaning there is no direct sticker compatibility. Therefore, no sticker crafts or specific sticker placements are associated with this item. Any aesthetic pairing with stickers is purely based on matching the knife's clean steel and dark handle with other inventory items.
