M9 Bayonet | Slaughter

The M9 Bayonet | Slaughter is one of CS2’s most recognizable knife finishes, originally introduced as part of the long-running “Slaughter” lineup that became famous for its bold, high-contrast appearance. As a CS:GO (legacy) model, this skin continues to be a fan favorite in Counter-Strike 2, preserving the classic look while remaining popular with collectors and trades.

As a Covert rarity knife, the M9 Bayonet | Slaughter is significantly rarer than standard weapon finishes. While exact drop rates aren’t publicly guaranteed for every player or container, Covert knives are generally among the least common outcomes you can receive, making them a frequent target for high-intent opening strategies and long-term trading.

This skin is available in multiple wear states: Factory New, Minimal Wear, and Field-Tested. StatTrak is available (yes), allowing you to track kills with this knife. Souvenir versions are not available. The float range for the item is 0.01 – 0.26, which helps define how clean or battle-worn the finish will appear across the listed wears.

Visually, the Slaughter finish is known for its aggressive, “slashed” patterning and dramatic red tones, balanced by darker areas that add depth. The overall look tends to be especially striking on the M9 Bayonet due to the blade’s length and the way pattern segments catch light during animation and inspection—one reason it stays in demand across the community.

In terms of acquisition, you can find the M9 Bayonet | Slaughter in various CS:GO-era sources and case pools, 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. There are no fixed collection associations recorded for this item, but it remains widely circulated through the case economy.

Overall, the M9 Bayonet | Slaughter is widely regarded as a prestige knife with broad appeal—especially among players who want a bold, instantly recognizable look rather than a subtle finish. With its Covert rarity, StatTrak availability, and iconic Slaughter styling, it continues to be a benchmark skin for many CS2 inventories and a frequent highlight in community trades and showcase clips.
