The Bayonet is one of the original knives released in Counter-Strike and is based on the real-life 1993 Buck M9 Bayonet. It is a thinner and sleeker version of Counter-Strike’s version of the M9 Bayonet.
The regular Bayonet has become a popular choice for a mid-ranged knife, as it offers one of the coolest pull-out animations in the game. If you’re looking for a good Bayonet skin to play with, here are the ten best suggestions.
Bayonet | Lore
The Bayonet | Lore is easily among the top choices for a Bayonet playskin. This knife has been custom-painted with intricate golden knotwork patterns to give a premium look.
Though dark green isn’t the greatest cosmetic color, it works oddly well with the golden blade of the Bayonet. We think this elegant knife skin is criminally underrated, and should be appreciated as the best Bayonet knife skin in the game.

Bayonet | Fade
The following skin on the list is the Bayonet | Fade, an obvious choice for the best Bayonet skins in all of Counter-Strike. The Bayonet | Fade features airbrushed transparent paint that fades together nicely over the knife’s chrome base coat.
This knife skin somewhat resembles a popsicle thanks to its vibrant, rainbow-colored concept. If possible, try securing one with a high fade percentage for maximum eye candy!

Bayonet | Marble Fade
The sibling of the Bayonet | Fade, the Bayonet | Marble Fade, is next on our ranking. It has been painted with black and silver metallic paint using a marbleizing medium and finished off with candy coating in three primary colors.
Marbles are expensive materials in real life, and you can have them embodied on your playskin to flex on your teammates. Overall, the Marble Fade is generally a safe choice.

Bayonet | Doppler
The Bayonet | Doppler is one of the most-demanded Bayonet skins in the game, and there are apparent reasons why. The Doppler has a relatively simple, yet mesmerizing design.
The best part about the Doppler family is that it has four phases to select from. Before buying your Bayonet | Doppler, look for the phase that satisfies you most and ensure you purchase the right one.

Bayonet | Crimson Web
If you have thousands of dollars to splurge and don’t want to overthink which skin to get, the Bayonet | Crimson Web is your best choice.
The Crimson Web has been painted using spider-web pattern motifs over a red base coat and then finished with a semi-gloss top coat. The dark red blade and matte black handle are a fantastic combination of colors. However, Crimson Webs only look lavish in good wear.

Bayonet | Gamma Doppler
If green is your favorite color, you can stop reading the article here and grab yourself a Bayonet | Gamma Doppler.
Similar to Doppler knives, Gamma Doppler ones also have phases to choose from, each varying in shades of green. Generally, the second phase features the most green, while the others are good choices if you want a little blue mixed in.

Bayonet | Autotronic
The Autotronic is another red-themed knife and is the perfect option for players who enjoy a sleek, minimalistic design. The Bayonet | Autotronic has been anodized in red, and steel mesh was applied to lighten the knife’s weight.
It follows a futuristic concept and is another safe choice if you can’t decide which Bayonet skin you should get. Additionally, the Autotronic skin does not look too bad in lower conditions, so you can grab a Field-Tested version without worrying too much.

Bayonet | Tiger Tooth
If you want a bright and attention-grabbing color on your Bayonet, the Tiger Tooth becomes an attractive choice. Covered in bright orange, the Bayonet | Tiger tooth features hand-etched tiger stripe patterns throughout the knife skin.
The Bayonet looks more like a hunting knife than others, giving it decent synergy with the Tiger Tooth skin. This knife is only available in Minimal Wear or Factory New condition, so you don’t have to worry about high float.

Bayonet | Slaughter
Tailing behind the Tiger Tooth is the Bayonet | Slaughter, another animal-based skin. The Slaughter has been painted using a zebra stripe pattern covered with tomato-red candy coating.
The Bayonet | Slaughter is one of the oldest knife skins in the game, so veteran players may have gotten bored of it. However, it is still a solid choice for a Bayonet knife skin.

Bayonet | Black Laminate
To end the list, we have the Bayonet | Black Laminate, which features a rather plain design. The knife has been stonewashed, and black laminate details were added to the knife’s handle.
If you don’t want flashy Bayonet skins distracting you while you are playing, the Black Laminate is a low-profile choice that gets the job done. It best fits the hands of players who prefer minimalistic designs.
