M9 Bayonet | Damascus Steel

Origin Story

The M9 Bayonet | Damascus Steel is a mid to high-tier classic knife, recognized for its clean aesthetic and flexibility as a craft base. Introduced on January 8, 2015, as part of the Full Spectrum update, this knife features a layered wavy steel pattern. Its design captures the look of real-world Damascus blades, forged from two different types of carbon steel.

Drop Chance

M9 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.

Skin Condition

Float range 0 to 0.5. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW.

• Factory New ($729.99): The blade appears bright and reflective, with a crisp Damascus wave pattern and minimal visible darkening or edge wear, presenting the premium visual tier.
• Minimal Wear ($705.00): The blade remains visually close to Factory New in normal gameplay, with Damascus waves staying sharp and only slight dulling along the very edge and tip, often viewed as the value pick.
• Field-Tested ($670.00): Noticeable darkening and dulling of the blade occur, with the Damascus pattern becoming less crisp, especially toward the cutting edge and tip, marking a clear visual shift from cleaner tiers.
• Well-Worn ($680.65): The blade appears considerably darker and more matte, with the Damascus waves less pronounced, and edge wear exposing more plain underlying metal, making it the cheapest practical tier.

Model

Damascus Steel uses the legacy M9 Bayonet model, introduced with Full Spectrum on January 8, 2015. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.
