A mid-tier Covert bayonet that trades like a mainstream blade: steady interest but no FN scarcity premium. The floor sits at a moderate level and the market rewards clean StatTrak or clean non-ST copies more than the worn ones.

This sits squarely in the mid bracket for knives, trading to regular buyers rather than collectors hunting grails. Demand is mainstream and liquidity behaves like a playable favorite: not hyperactive, but consistent enough that a seller can move copies without exotic listings, provided they price to the market shape.
The wear ladder shows a capped float profile and a clear payout curve that leans toward the cleaner end but without an extreme cliff. Expect a banded ladder with a noticeable premium for the cleanest faces, then a flatter run through the rest of the wears.
Lower wears live close together thanks to a compressed low-end spread, so heavily worn examples cluster in payout and don't underperform wildly versus slightly less worn copies. That makes holding a worn Bayonet less painful; you won't lose a lot by accepting the lower rung when you need liquidity.
Buyer asks and seller nets diverge because the market is mid-tier and mainstream: listings carry visible markup while net cashout reflects fees, spreads, and the capped float pressure. When you view a sticker price, remember the market eats into it; cashout will typically sit inside that gap unless you step into the top of the ladder.
The Spray-Paint finish and gray palette read reasonably tolerant to wear, but buyers still pay for a clean face. Wear matters most near the clean end where the finish shows less scuffing; past that point, visual degradation becomes gradual and the market reacts more mildly.
As a Covert knife, rarity props up the bottom of the ladder even when the piece is beat up, so the floor has a reliable underpinning. That rarity support keeps worn copies from collapsing to de minimis levels and stabilizes seller expectations.
StatTrak Bayonets exist and follow their own curve, often trading on a separate demand axis from normal knives; the StatTrak line is a distinct audience. StatTrak copies sit above non-ST in buyer interest but can invert short term versus clean non-ST depending on market movement.
Gray dominates the palette and the Spray-Paint finish gives the blade a utilitarian, low-contrast look that sits well in-game against most player models. The muted tones make it an easy equip for players who want a discreet, functional knife rather than a loud showpiece.
This drops from the CS:GO Weapon Case, which keeps supply steady as long as that container circulates. The case origin signals routine supply flows rather than limited-event scarcity, so new copies appear at regular intervals.
Over the year the skin has graded up softly; recent thirty-day movement is a soft down drift, so the longer trend is healthier than the immediate micro trend. Traders watch the divergence between the broader uptrend and the short dip for entry points.
Attack the spread by listing near the mid to top rungs of the band when you have a clean or StatTrak copy, and accept lower entry on worn pieces where compression bites. Discipline comes from matching your float to the correct ladder slot and resisting the urge to undercut without cause.
The community treats this as a dependable knife for play and trade rather than a collector grail; sentiment is practical. That steady, no-nonsense attitude shows in how quickly decent copies change hands and in the preference for clean or StatTrak examples.
