High-value, premium bayonet that trades like a collector piece rather than a common knife. Demand concentrates at the clean end, but the low wears still carry a firm floor thanks to the covert tier and the Chroma Case origin. Be selective: listings outside the tight bands rarely move.

This sits firmly in the premium bracket for bayonets: not a grail but treated like one by buyers who chase appearance and status. For a seller that means listings need to be staged with intent - clean copies attract patient buyers, while worn ones clear faster if priced inside the narrow band buyers accept for this tier.
The ladder is capped and shows a clear kink rather than a gentle slope, with most of the value concentrated near the clean end and a flatter stretch through the lower wears. Sellers should expect a hard step up into the top bracket rather than a smooth climb across float.
Worn copies live in a compressed band where float barely alters payout, so a dirtier Phase 2 will still trade respectably compared with similar covert knives. If you hold a worn copy, you don't need to chase tiny float gains - list it competitively within that tight lower spectrum and it will clear faster.
For buyer value, the mid-to-high worn states offer the most skin-for-money before the payout stops rewarding cleanliness; past a certain clean threshold the premium accelerates and the marginal return on float drops off. Sellers who want turnover should lean into that sweet spot rather than trying to extract top-dollar from marginally cleaner copies.
The Anodized Multicolored finish keeps surface wear readable - small float improvements give visible gains in the pattern and face cleanliness, and buyers notice. That makes the skin moderately sensitive to float, with serious collectors paying up for the clean face and bright pink highlights.
In the StatTrak line the usual ladder flips: a dirtier StatTrak can out-price a cleaner non-StatTrak because buyer preference for the counter beats pure float in the ST market. Watch for listing comparables that mix StatTrak and non-StatTrak; the countered StatTrak copies will often sit at a different band and can command buyers even when cosmetically worse.
Being a covert underpins a steady floor even at worn states, so the bottom of the ladder rarely collapses to dust. That covert backing plus the Chroma Case provenance keeps worn pieces from dumping below what comparable commons would fetch.
The pink accents cut through the Anodized Multicolored finish, giving a sharp melee silhouette in-hand and on the knife slot. Valve's designer touch keeps the Phase 2 pattern readable at distance, so the vivid pinks and shifting hues register cleanly in-game.
This Bayonet Phase 2 comes from the Chroma Case, which channels supply into a predictable stream rather than sporadic events. That origin means availability is steady enough for buyers to be picky, which tightens the effective selling windows.
The yearly picture shows a downwards re-rating from peak interest, while the recent short window is flat, so the item has cooled off from prior highs and settled into a patient market. Traders should expect the skin to trade with less upward momentum than it once had.
Range is wide but movement lately has been subdued, so spikes are possible but not regular; listings can sit if mispriced. For a seller that means timing matters: list inside the active bands to avoid being whipsawed by the slow drift.
The usual traps are misclassifying StatTrak versus non-StatTrak and ignoring the capped float profile when pricing; both errors leave copies unsold. Check the Phase label, the StatTrak flag, and match against live comparables in the exact finish before pushing a listing live.
