StatTrak™ Bayonet | Case Hardened (Field-Tested)
Relatively unchanged in its design since World War II, the bayonet still retains a place in modern military strategy. Bayonet charges have continued to be effective as recently as the second Gulf War and the war in Afghanistan. It has been color case-hardened through the application of wood charcoal at high temperatures.

Description
The Bayonet | Case Hardened is part of the popular Case Hardened collection, known for its distinctive, marbled steel-and-color look. As a CS:GO (legacy) model, it follows the classic pattern style that players associate with timeless knife finishes, making it a standout choice for collectors and competitive grinders alike.
As a Covert-rarity skin, Bayonet | Case Hardened is considered highly desirable in the CS2 community. While exact drop rates are not publicly guaranteed for every container outcome, Covert knives are among the rarest items players can obtain, typically appearing only through higher-tier case openings rather than common gameplay drops.
This skin supports multiple wear states, ranging from Factory New (0.00) through Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred (up to float 1.0). StatTrak™ is available, allowing the knife to track kills, while Souvenir variants are not available for this specific skin.
Visually, the Case Hardened finish creates a unique mix of blues, grays, and darker steel tones across the blade and handle area. The look is influenced by paint index 44 (and the inherent randomness of Case Hardened pattern placement), meaning no two units appear exactly the same—even when comparing the same wear tier.
You can find the Bayonet | Case Hardened in several CS:GO-era case containers, 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. The found in collections field lists none, reflecting that its availability is primarily tied to these case drops.
In community perception, this knife finish is widely regarded as an iconic “marble fade-style alternative” to other blade patterns—especially because Bayonet silhouettes show off the finish prominently. Many players value it not only for its status and rarity, but also for the individual variation that comes with Case Hardened patterns, making it a favorite among pattern-focused collectors.
