★ Bayonet | Case Hardened (Well-Worn)

The bayonet keeps a military design proven across generations; its practical shape still feels ready for hard service. For the Case Hardened treatment, it has been color case-hardened through the application of wood charcoal at high temperatures.

Artwork is divided between blade and handle without pushing the recognizable proportions into the background. The elongated blade makes it easy to see how the surface changes with the curve and thickness of the metal.

The Case Hardened design joined the Counter-Strike catalog as a distinct work with its own family of variants.

The skin began its path inside the game, where it was treated as a distinct finish for this model from the outset. Every Case Hardened condition on the Bayonet continues one design rather than forming a separate release.

The assigned rarity of Bayonet | Case Hardened is Covert. It marks the design’s place among items from the same release and does not change with surface wear.

On the Bayonet, this tier distinguishes the work from artwork assigned to other levels. Special editions do not receive a new rarity; their labels describe the version rather than its place in the hierarchy.

The Case Hardened treatment works with that character instead of burying the item's form beneath decoration.

On the Bayonet, the Case Hardened treatment uses the Patina method, shaping the way the image meets its material and geometry. The degree of wear changes how the design reads without replacing its motif or application method.

Bayonet | Case Hardened is easy to recognize through the pairing of a familiar silhouette with a distinct surface treatment. Its identity does not depend on inspecting tiny details.

A clear visual rhythm keeps Case Hardened from disappearing beside other finishes made for the Bayonet. Condition adds another visible distinction: cleaner examples preserve more of the original detail, while abrasion gives the same design a rougher, quieter character.

In the catalog, Bayonet | Case Hardened appears in standard edition and StatTrak™. Available Bayonet conditions are Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred; abrasion and smaller details change between them.

No dedicated container is listed for Case Hardened. Its available editions and conditions are still treated separately. The availability of one variant depends on its edition and condition together, not merely on the family name.

The story of Case Hardened starts with the game release that introduced it as a separate design. This Bayonet item entered the game without a dedicated container and retained its own release context.

The origin of Case Hardened is considered together with the model for which it was released.

The Bayonet | Case Hardened family includes standard edition and StatTrak™. Its base version carries no special tracking feature; the special StatTrak™ version is distinguished by an integrated counter.

Versions are separated first by edition and then by wear, so two visually close examples can still belong to different variants. Each variant is built on the Bayonet | Case Hardened artwork; edition and surface preservation remain qualities of the individual item.
