About ★ Bayonet | Black Laminate
The ★ Bayonet | Black Laminate in Battle-Scarred is the value-floor entry to one of CS:GO's foundational Bayonet finishes. Released with the launch knife collection (August 2013), Black Laminate applies a flat black-and-grey wood-grain laminate over the Bayonet's straight blade — and BS keeps the heritage character intact while delivering the lowest possible Bayonet entry price.
Why BS works on Black Laminate
The laminated wood-grain pattern is intentionally irregular. BS adds authentic surface aging that reads as decades of carry rather than visual degradation. For collectors who want the original 2013 Bayonet silhouette at a fraction of the FN/MW price, BS Black Laminate is the historically defensible pickup.
What stays intact at BS
The black-on-grey wood grain pattern stays clearly readable — the play face never goes uniformly black or grey because the alternating laminate strips are wide enough to survive heavy wear. Float is the only meaningful variable; lower BS floats keep the pattern sharper.
