M9 Bayonet | Safari Mesh

The M9 Bayonet | Safari Mesh is a distinctive CS2 knife skin built for players who prefer rugged, pattern-driven aesthetics over high-gloss finishes. Using the CS2 model with paint index 72, this skin showcases the “Safari Mesh” finish style designed to look like an outdoors-inspired, textured camouflage mesh across the blade and handle areas.

As a Covert rarity item, it sits in one of CS2’s more desirable tiers. While exact drop rates are not publicly guaranteed, Covert skins are generally considered rarer than lower-grade rarities and typically appear less frequently in case openings. The Float range (0.06 – 0.8) also influences how worn the surface appearance will look, with condition affecting the overall visual crispness of the pattern.

This skin is available in multiple wear states: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available (Yes), allowing the knife to track kills in-game, which adds extra value for players who want performance cosmetics with progression features. A Souvenir version is not available, and the skin is listed with no assigned collections—meaning it’s primarily sought through case openings rather than collection milestones.

Visually, the Safari Mesh finish leans into an earthy, patterned look that reads as textured camouflage from typical viewing distances. The mesh-like motif and natural color variation give the M9 Bayonet a more tactical and rugged identity, making it a popular choice for players aiming for “mil-sim” or adventure-themed loadouts.

To obtain the M9 Bayonet | Safari Mesh, players typically look through cases where it has appeared, 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. Since it’s drawn from multiple older CS:GO-era case pools, it remains a commonly discussed knife skin among long-time CS players.

Community-wise, Safari Mesh is appreciated for balancing uniqueness with a grounded, wearable color palette. Knife enthusiasts often gravitate toward it because the pattern styling complements the M9 Bayonet’s silhouette, and its Covert classification makes it a frequent recommendation for players looking for a visually interesting knife without going into the highest rarity brackets.
