StatTrak™ Bayonet | Freehand (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 painted black and purple, then decorated with a metallic marker.

Description
Bayonet | Freehand is a premium Counter-Strike weapon skin built for the Bayonet knife platform. This skin uses the “Freehand” finish style and is listed in the CS:GO (legacy) model format, carrying over into Counter-Strike 2 for players who want the classic look of CS:GO-era knife finishes. It’s recognized by its bold, hand-painted appearance rather than a minimal, uniform pattern.
As a Covert rarity item, Bayonet | Freehand sits among the more sought-after knife skins in the market. While exact drop rates are not publicly disclosed, Covert knives are generally much rarer than lower-tier finishes, and their availability is primarily driven by case openings. For collectors, its rarity combined with the Bayonet’s popularity makes it a standout choice—especially because it appears in notable containers.
The skin is available in multiple wear levels: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred—covering float values from 0.00 up to 0.48. StatTrak is supported (StatTrak available: Yes), allowing the knife to track kills, while a Souvenir version is not available. There are no collections listed for this skin, so players typically focus on case access and wear preference when deciding to purchase or open for it.
Visually, the Freehand finish is known for its expressive, graffiti-like strokes and layered paint texture. The Bayonet | Freehand uses paint index 580 and the Freehand pattern style to create a dynamic surface look that can vary subtly depending on the wear. In practice, players often prefer lower wear conditions because they tend to preserve the clarity and contrast of the artwork.
To obtain Bayonet | Freehand, players typically look to case sources rather than direct collection drops. This skin can be found in the Gamma 2 Case and the Gamma Case. Because it’s tied to these containers, it’s most commonly pursued through case openings, trading, or market listings where available.
In the community, Bayonet knives are already considered high-visibility items, and the Freehand finish adds an extra layer of personality. Bayonet | Freehand is often appreciated for its artistic style and the way it differentiates from more traditional camouflage or patterned knife finishes. For many players, it’s a “statement” knife—one that blends strong visual identity with the prestige of Covert rarity.
