M9 Bayonet | Black Laminate

Origin Story

The M9 Bayonet | Black Laminate presents a clean, tactical aesthetic with its stonewashed blade and black laminate handle. Its dark, low-contrast appearance makes it a popular choice for all-black or monochrome inventories, fitting seamlessly into a tactical loadout. The Black Laminate series is often seen as a mid-tier, solid alternative to darker, more expensive knives, valued for its utilitarian look and the prominent M9 silhouette.

Drop Chance

M9 Bayonet | Black Laminate 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 1. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Factory New (No Recent Price): The blade appears evenly dark with full stonewash texture and minimal visible edge wear, while the handle is a deep, uniform black laminate.
• Minimal Wear (No Recent Price): Very fine edge softening or tiny bright dots may appear at the tip or along the cutting edge, but the dark color remains strong. This is often considered a value pick for dark knife finishes.
• Field-Tested (No Recent Price): Edge wear becomes noticeably visible with fine chipping along the cutting edge and some brightening near the tip and guard; the handle may show modest wear on corners.
• Well-Worn (No Recent Price): Edge wear is strongly pronounced with longer stretches of bright metal along the cutting edge, and the blade may show more widespread scuffs and a somewhat faded dark finish.
• Battle-Scarred (No Recent Price): The blade exhibits heavy edge wear and extensive bright areas, with large portions of the cutting edge and parts of the flat and spine showing exposed metal, giving it a rougher, distressed appearance.

Gunsmith: It has been stonewashed and given a black laminate handle. The dominant colors are a dark grey to near-black on the blade with a subtle stonewash texture, paired with a matte black laminate handle. In first-person, the broad, stonewashed M9 blade and the matte black handle are both very prominent due to the M9’s size. In community discussions of black or stealth knives, Black Laminate knives are often grouped with Night, Gamma Doppler Phase 1/2 (dark phases), and Vanilla or Default M9 as part of tactical or all-black loadouts.
