M9 Bayonet | Slaughter

★ M9 Bayonet | Slaughter is a CS2 knife skin with a tomato-red blade and irregular, reflective stripes. Pale pink and dark crimson bands contrast with its charcoal handle. The finish suits players who prefer a colorful blade without matching decoration across the grip. Factory New, Minimal Wear, and Field-Tested copies are available, including StatTrak™ versions.

Description

★ M9 Bayonet | Slaughter brings a red metallic finish to the M9 Bayonet in CS2. The knife's underlying design combines a rifle-mounting role with suitability for close-quarters combat. Broad, overlapping stripes make the blade the main visual focus rather than the handle. The dark grip provides a restrained contrast to the pink, red, and crimson pattern. An oval opening near the tip and prominent spine teeth remain recognizable parts of its silhouette. This combination suits loadouts built around red accents or contrasting dark equipment. Buyers can compare individual images alongside exterior and float value when choosing a copy. Standard and StatTrak versions offer separate options without changing the identity of the Slaughter finish.

History and Origin

The skin was released on August 14, 2013, with the CS:GO Weapon Case. Its introduction formed part of the Arms Deal update in CS:GO. Valve created the finish rather than a community designer. Other source cases include the eSports 2013 Case and Operation Bravo Case. It also appears in CS:GO Weapon Case 2, eSports 2013 Winter Case, and Winter Offensive Weapon Case. Further routes include CS:GO Weapon Case 3, Operation Phoenix Weapon Case, and eSports 2014 Summer Case. Operation Vanguard Weapon Case and Revolver Case also contain this knife finish. As of October 9, 2026, none of these cases receive new drops following the rare drop pool's retirement on December 17, 2025. Existing cases can still be purchased and opened, keeping case acquisition possible despite their retired drop status.

Finish Style

Slaughter uses the Anodized Multicolored finish style, giving the blade a layered metallic appearance. Aluminum and chrome paints create differing reflections beneath a tomato-red tinted coating. The visible palette combines pale pink, bright red, and dark crimson rather than a uniform red surface. Broad, irregular bands overlap across the blade, producing an angular, zebra-like arrangement. Contrasting reflective areas emphasize the boundaries between these bands and add variation within the red finish. The guard and muzzle ring have a pink-silver appearance that connects visually with the lighter blade markings. Pronounced grip ridges give the dark charcoal handle a much plainer character than the patterned blade. A pink-silver rim at the butt adds a metallic accent without extending the striped treatment across the grip.

Float Value

The float value range for ★ M9 Bayonet | Slaughter is 0.01 to 0.26. Available exteriors are Factory New, Minimal Wear, and Field-Tested, with no Well-Worn or Battle-Scarred copies. StatTrak versions are available; version availability is separate from cosmetic condition.

Rarity and Popularity

★ M9 Bayonet | Slaughter has the Covert rarity grade. Its stated drop chance from the CS:GO Weapon Case is 0.0039%, which should not be treated as an odds figure for every source case. Known professional owners include NEKiZ, F1KU, and Devilwalk.

Why it’s Popular:

• Tomato-red blade with contrasting pink and crimson stripes

• Reflective metallic layers give the pattern visual depth

• Dark ridged handle balances the colorful blade

• StatTrak versions offer an alternative to standard copies

Price Range

The live CS2 skin price range is $567.25 to $1,595.25. These bounds cover the entire skin, not a particular exterior or version. Compare Factory New, Minimal Wear, and Field-Tested listings alongside their exact float values. Check standard and StatTrak copies separately rather than assuming their asking prices are interchangeable. When deciding which listing to buy, consider the displayed finish and item details as well as the price.

How to Obtain

1. Buy Directly through Eneba Skins

One of the fastest and most straightforward options is to purchase skins directly through Eneba Skins. You can browse available CS2 skins, compare prices, and choose the items that best fit your budget.

2. Open a Weapon Case

Open a CS:GO Weapon Case or another source case, such as Operation Phoenix Weapon Case or Revolver Case. These cases no longer drop, but existing stock can still be bought and opened. An opening does not guarantee this knife or a particular exterior.

3. Buy on the Steam Community Market

Buy the knife through the Steam Community Market by searching for its exact item name. Check the exterior and StatTrak status before purchasing, and verify the float value when available.

4. Trade with Other Players

Trade with another player for an existing copy of the knife. Confirm the exact item, exterior, float, and StatTrak status before agreeing to the exchange.

Trading and Investment Considerations

Retired source cases restrict new case supply, although openings of existing stock can still add knives to circulation. Professional ownership provides visibility, but it does not establish future demand or reliable resale speed. Before deciding to buy, sell, or trade, compare the available exteriors and versions against the substantial purchase cost.

Reasons it Holds Value

• Source cases no longer receive new drops

• Distinctive red finish with contrasting metallic reflections

• Known ownership by professional players

• Standard and StatTrak versions broaden buyer choice

The editorial investment rating is medium-to-good, supported by retired source cases, distinctive styling, and professional ownership. The main risk is uncertain future demand at a substantial entry cost, while existing case openings can continue adding supply.
