Bayonet | Damascus Steel

Origin Story

The Bayonet | Damascus Steel was introduced on January 8, 2015, as part of the Full Spectrum update, expanding the classic knife pool with new finishes. Its blade features a distinctive layered wave-like pattern, a direct result of the forging process using two different types of carbon steel, as described in its in-game description. This patina finish provides a clean, metallic aesthetic, with the intricate swirling pattern dominating the visual identity of the knife. The accompanying flavor text, "Finally, a weapon strong enough to match your resolve," emphasizes the theme of durability and strength inherent in its design. This finish is considered a mid-tier, clean-looking metallic knife option, valued for its subtle appeal rather than vibrant colors or animated effects.

Drop Chance

Bayonet | Damascus 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.
