M9 Bayonet | Ultraviolet

The ★ M9 Bayonet | Ultraviolet is a CS2 knife skin with a charcoal-black blade and a solid purple handle. Its restrained Solid Color finish leaves the weapon's teeth, guard and segmented grip clearly defined. The look suits dark loadouts with purple accents rather than illustrated designs. All exterior grades are available, alongside StatTrak™ versions.

Description

The ★ M9 Bayonet | Ultraviolet brings a black-and-purple finish to the M9 Bayonet knife in CS2. Its blade, toothed spine and circular guard give the model a distinct outline beneath the simple paint scheme. The purple grip provides a concentrated accent instead of spreading decorative artwork across the weapon. With no visible lettering or illustrations, the finish keeps attention on the knife's shape and contrasting parts. It suits players who prefer understated equipment while still wanting a clearly visible color accent. Regular and StatTrak copies give buyers different ownership options without changing the finish's basic design. Listings can be compared by exterior, exact float value and whether the knife includes the counter. Inspecting each listing's image also helps buyers choose the appearance they prefer rather than relying only on the exterior label.

History and Origin

The ★ M9 Bayonet | Ultraviolet was released in CS:GO on January 8, 2015, with the Chroma Case. Its debut formed part of the Chroma Case Skins update. Valve created the finish, rather than a community designer. The weapon itself was intended for mounting on a rifle while also serving as a close-quarters blade. The Chroma 2 Case and Chroma 3 Case also contain this skin, providing additional case-opening routes. Valve retired the rare drop pool on December 17, 2025, ending new drops for all its source cases. Existing cases remain available to buy and open, so retirement did not remove the case-opening route. Today, buyers can also obtain an existing knife directly through marketplaces or player trades instead of relying on a random opening.

Finish Style

Ultraviolet uses a Solid Color finish, with separate weapon parts spray-painted in a restrained black-and-purple palette. The blade appears charcoal-black, while angular shading gives its face definition without adding an illustrated pattern. A lighter gray cutting edge contrasts with the darker blade surface. Near the tip, a small oval opening interrupts the otherwise solid shape. Saw-like teeth along the spine near the handle add another visible detail to the silhouette. The dark crossguard and circular ring carry subtle purple highlights rather than the handle's full purple coverage. Raised, segmented ridges give the solid purple grip a structured appearance. A dark end cap finishes the handle and reconnects its color scheme with the blade. With no visible text or artwork, the overall design relies on placement, contrast and the weapon's physical features.

Float Value

The float value range is 0.06 to 0.80, covering the skin's available cosmetic conditions. Available exteriors are Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred, so none of the standard exterior grades is missing. Both regular and StatTrak versions exist, but there is no Souvenir version; version availability is separate from a copy's exterior condition.

Rarity and Popularity

The ★ M9 Bayonet | Ultraviolet has the Covert rarity grade. Its chance of appearing from a Chroma Case opening is 0.0085%, which should not be assumed to apply identically to the other cases. Professional player juanflatroo owns the skin, providing a documented example of ownership without establishing how widely it is sought.

Why it’s Popular:

• Black-and-purple colors suit coordinated dark loadouts

• Simple paintwork keeps the M9 Bayonet's shape visible

• Purple ridged handle provides a clear visual accent

• Regular and StatTrak options accommodate different preferences

Price Range

The live CS2 skin price range is $285.00 to $1,594.95 across the item as a whole. Exterior and float value help distinguish listings that share the same finish name. Factory New, Minimal Wear and more worn options should be compared separately rather than treated as interchangeable copies. StatTrak availability adds another version to check, without making either range endpoint a permanent price for a particular variant. Before choosing a listing to buy, compare its exact float, exterior, counter status and asking price against matching alternatives.

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 Chroma Case, Chroma 2 Case or Chroma 3 Case for a chance at this knife. The Chroma Case chance is 0.0085%, so an opening does not ensure this result. These cases no longer drop, but existing copies can still be bought and opened.

3. Buy on the Steam Community Market

Buy the ★ M9 Bayonet | Ultraviolet directly from an available listing on the Steam Community Market. Check the exterior, listed version and any available item details before purchasing. This route allows selection of an existing knife instead of accepting a random case-opening result.

4. Trade with Other Players

The knife can also be obtained through a player-to-player trade involving an existing copy. Compare the offered knife's exterior, float value and StatTrak status with the items being exchanged. Verify that the actual trade item matches the agreed version before accepting.

Trading and Investment Considerations

Retired Chroma case supply supports a scarcity argument, but existing cases can still produce additional knives when opened. Ownership by juanflatroo adds a professional connection, although that alone does not establish broad demand or easy resale. Before buying to sell or trade, compare regular and StatTrak copies by exterior, float value and current asking price.

Reasons it Holds Value

• Retired source cases receive no new drops

• Valve-created finish with established release history

• Distinct black-and-purple styling

• StatTrak versions provide another ownership option

• Documented professional ownership

The investment rating is medium-to-good, based on retired source cases, documented professional ownership and the distinctive Valve-created finish. The main risk is committing substantial money to a knife whose future demand and resale speed are not established. Case retirement limits incoming cases, not new knives from existing cases, so it does not guarantee price appreciation.
