Best Bayonet Skins 2026 — Ranked by Popularity & Price
The ★ Bayonet is CS2's classic short blade — a clean pull-out, smaller than the M9, still a full knife inspect. This page ranks ★ Bayonet finishes for 2026 by Steam Market 24-hour trading volume, so you see what is actually changing hands — not a Doppler Ruby screenshot contest.
The list runs from budget blades like ★ Bayonet | Safari Mesh, ★ Bayonet | Scorched, and ★ Bayonet | Ultraviolet, through workhorses (★ Bayonet | Tiger Tooth, ★ Bayonet | Lore, ★ Bayonet | Autotronic, ★ Bayonet | Marble Fade), up to grails such as ★ Bayonet | Fade, ★ Bayonet | Doppler Sapphire, ★ Bayonet | Doppler Ruby, and ★ Bayonet | Gamma Doppler Emerald. Sort by price or popularity, then open any row for float, wear, and the full price chart.
How We Rank Bayonet Skins
Default order is Steam Market 24h trading volume (what is liquid right now), with live prices from the same database as the rest of TAKE.SKIN. Switch the sort to price if you are shopping a budget, or to 24h gainers if you are watching a spike. Rankings update with the market.
Best Bayonet Skins by Budget
The cheap band is ★ Bayonet | Safari Mesh, ★ Bayonet | Boreal Forest, ★ Bayonet | Scorched, ★ Bayonet | Ultraviolet, and ★ Bayonet | Night — same pull-out, camo or dark paint. There is no separate cheap Bayonet hub; sort this page by price, or use the cheap CS2 knives list if you only need any knife in the slot.
In the mid tier, ★ Bayonet | Tiger Tooth, ★ Bayonet | Lore, ★ Bayonet | Autotronic, ★ Bayonet | Marble Fade, and ★ Bayonet | Crimson Web are the finishes most players mean when they say "a real Bayonet."
Grails are ★ Bayonet | Fade, ★ Bayonet | Doppler (Sapphire, Ruby, Black Pearl), and ★ Bayonet | Gamma Doppler Emerald — buy those as collection pieces. Phase 1–4 Doppler is not a gem. Want the wider serrated play side, use the M9 hub instead.
Wear, Float, and Pattern on Bayonets
★ Bayonet | Fade is percentage on the play side. ★ Bayonet | Doppler is phase and gem. ★ Bayonet | Crimson Web hunts a clean web — smaller blade than an M9, so a full web is harder. Always open the detail page before you pay a gem or "max fade" asking price.
How to Use This List
Use sort and the ranked cards below to scan. Click through for wear, float range, and the price chart. Comparing the larger M9, go to that hub. Comparing a claw or flip inspect, use the Karambit or Butterfly hubs.
Pick a color before gloves: the gold of ★ Bayonet | Tiger Tooth, the fade of ★ Bayonet | Fade, or the purple of ★ Bayonet | Ultraviolet.
Market Analysis & Budget Guide
In September 2026 this page lists 25 ★ Bayonet finishes by live Steam volume. It is a short classic-blade catalog, not a Doppler Ruby screenshot ranking. The numbers below are the same Steam feed as the rest of TAKE.SKIN — not a made-up month-over-month.
From the same Steam feed as the rest of this page, the cheapest row right now is the Bayonet | Boreal Forest (field-tested) at $114.61. The average of this list is $1106.40; the top of the slice is $3997.46 (the Bayonet | Doppler Black Pearl (factory new)). Use the table, not a remembered number.
Usual Bayonet Bands:
- Tiger Tooth / Lore / Autotronic: What most players mean by a real Bayonet — short pull-out, not camo paint.
- Safari Mesh / Ultraviolet: Cheap but the same inspect. Sort by price to shop the floor.
- Fade: Percentage on a smaller play side than an M9.
- Doppler / Gamma Doppler: Phase and gem first. Phase 1–4 is not Ruby.
For the wide serrated blade, go to the M9 Bayonet hub. For a budget knife, start with Safari Mesh or the cheap CS2 knives page.
