About ★ Bayonet | Freehand
The ★ Bayonet | Freehand in Minimal Wear is the cleanest reading of CS2's most artistically committed Bayonet finish. Released with the Operation Hydra Case (May 2017), Freehand applies sketch-style ink illustration densely across the play face — a tattoo flash sheet rendered in steel.
Why MW preserves the technique
Freehand is line-art at its core. Wear blurs ink the same way it blurs printed graphic — the technique that defines the design starts to soften past Field-Tested. MW keeps every line of the illustration legible at inspection range, which is exactly the angle that makes the finish distinctive on streams.
Pattern-free pricing
There's no pattern lottery on Freehand — the ink illustration is uniform across seeds. Float and overall condition drive price entirely. MW is the value-correct condition: technique-preserving without the FN premium.
