Bayonet | Blue Steel

The Bayonet | Blue Steel is a classic knife skin that carries forward the iconic look from the CS:GO legacy era into Counter-Strike 2. With its clean “Blue Steel” finish and recognizable Bayonet silhouette, it’s one of the more recognizable covert knife themes among long-time CS players. The skin is associated with paint index 42 and retains its legacy model identity as it appears in CS2.

In CS2, the Bayonet | Blue Steel is classified as Covert rarity, meaning it’s significantly more limited than standard and industrial tiers. Exact drop odds aren’t publicly provided in a transparent way, so “drop chance” is best understood as availability through rare-case pools rather than an easily predicted direct drop rate. Practically, this means it tends to be obtained through weapon case openings where covert-tier items can appear.

This skin is available across the full float range (0–1) and supports multiple wear states: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available, allowing the knife to track kills, which is a popular feature for collectors and competitive players who value display stats. Souvenir versions are not available, and the skin is listed as having no found collections directly tied to it.

Visually, the Blue Steel finish is known for its steel-like base with cool blue tones and a highly polished, modern look. On the Bayonet, the pattern and sheen help the blade and guard stand out, creating a crisp contrast compared to darker knife finishes. Because the item’s appearance can shift with wear, players often compare Factory New versus higher-wear variants to judge how the blue accents and overall texture read in-game.

If you’re looking to obtain it, the Bayonet | Blue Steel has appeared in several official case pools, including: CS:GO Weapon Case, Operation Phoenix Weapon Case, Revolver Case, Operation Bravo Case, eSports 2014 Summer Case, Operation Vanguard Weapon Case, eSports 2013 Winter Case, eSports 2013 Case, Winter Offensive Weapon Case, CS:GO Weapon Case 2, and CS:GO Weapon Case 3. Availability through these containers is the primary route players use.

Among the community, the Bayonet | Blue Steel is widely seen as a “safe favorite” for knife fans: it blends an elegant color theme with a familiar Bayonet profile, making it appealing both for aesthetic display and for players who prefer established, recognizable skins. Its Covert-tier status and StatTrak support further contribute to its steady demand with collectors and trades-focused players.
