Bayonet | Slaughter (Minimal Wear)

Bayonet | Slaughter is a classic CS:GO-era knife skin that carries over into Counter-Strike 2, using the CS:GO (legacy) model. It’s widely recognized as one of the most iconic “Blood in the Water” style designs in the knife category, combining aggressive red tones with darker contrasts to deliver a premium, high-impact look on the Bayonet frame. Like many legacy skins, it remains popular thanks to its strong visual identity and consistent demand in the community.

This skin is classified as Covert rarity, placing it among the highest-tier drops available for eligible cases. While exact drop probabilities are not publicly guaranteed for each individual item, Covert skins are generally rare compared to lower-tier weapons, and Bayonet knives are typically among the most sought-after pulls. The float range of 0.01 to 0.26 covers Factory New through Field-Tested, allowing players to find different levels of finish intensity within the upper part of the spectrum.

Bayonet | Slaughter comes in multiple wears: Factory New, Minimal Wear, and Field-Tested. StatTrak is available, letting owners track kills with the Bayonet using the StatTrak counter (where enabled by the specific item). There is no Souvenir version for this skin. Collectors often compare different wears to see how the finish affects the overall balance of red and darker shadowing across the blade and handle areas.

Visually, the Slaughter finish is defined by bold red accents over darker base elements, creating a dramatic “slashed” pattern effect that makes the knife stand out in both close-up inspections and in-game movement. With paint index 59, the skin follows a specific mapping that influences how the pattern is displayed on the model. The result is a look that many players describe as aggressive, high-contrast, and immediately recognizable—especially when viewed under varying lighting conditions in CS2.

If you’re looking to obtain it, Bayonet | Slaughter is associated with several well-known CS:GO/CS2-era containers, including the 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. It is not listed as coming from any specific collection in the provided data, but its frequent appearance across major case lineups contributes to its enduring presence in trading and inventory discussions.

Community perception of Bayonet | Slaughter remains strongly positive due to its iconic identity, Covert-tier status, and the broad appeal of its color scheme on a Bayonet silhouette. Whether you’re chasing a clean high-wear aesthetic in Factory New or prefer a more battle-worn look in Minimal Wear or Field-Tested, this skin is often treated as a centerpiece item for players who want a knife that looks striking in every match.
