About ★ Bayonet | Black Laminate
The ★ Bayonet | Black Laminate in Well-Worn is the heritage-aesthetic alternative to the FT and BS price tiers. Released with the launch knife collection (August 2013), Black Laminate applies a flat black-and-grey laminated wood-grain pattern over the Bayonet's straight blade — and WW is where wear actually accentuates the laminated layering rather than dulling it.
Why WW versus FT
The price spread between WW and FT Black Laminate is narrow. The choice usually comes down to aesthetic preference: WW shows the laminate pattern with more contrast as the surface develops authentic patina, while FT keeps the gloss higher. For collectors who want the heritage tier read, WW does that better.
Pattern uniformity
Black Laminate has minimal pattern variance across seeds. The wood-grain laminate pattern is consistent enough that price is driven entirely by float and presentation rather than seed lottery.
