About ★ Bayonet | Stained
The ★ Bayonet | Stained in Field-Tested pairs the original 2013 Bayonet model with the hand-painted rust-and-oil finish that defined CS:GO's launch knife aesthetic. Stained is one of the few finishes where the visual intent already implies surface aging — FT additions read as authentic carry rather than damage.
Why Stained on Bayonet endures
Stained competes with Black Laminate as the Bayonet's heritage-aesthetic finish. Where Black Laminate reads as factory-issue material, Stained reads as field-veteran personalization. Both have aged into legitimate collector tiers; Stained at FT is one of the most accessible heritage Bayonet pickups.
Pattern variance specifics
Stained patterns vary in orange highlight distribution. The most desirable seeds concentrate brighter rust along the edge and spine — a 5-15% premium over generic distribution. The Bayonet's flat play face makes pattern verification straightforward.
