Most Expensive M9 Bayonet Skins in CS2 (2026)

This list orders the most expensive M9 Bayonet skins in CS2 by their Factory New price on SkinsMonkey, checked on November 5, 2026. Out of all M9 Bayonet skins, the item page with the highest price is M9 Bayonet | Doppler Black Pearl at $10,980.03 in Factory New, and the tenth M9 Bayonet on the list costs $1,816.25. Each Doppler phase and each gem has its own item page with its own price, so we list them separately. All prices are for normal copies, without StatTrak.

The top three are gems of the Doppler and the Gamma Doppler, but places four and five go to two camo finishes. A Forest DDPAT costs $360.12 in Well-Worn and $6,853.21 in Factory New on its item page, and a Factory New Crimson Web costs $6,064.06. Below we explain why a clean camo M9 can cost more than a Sapphire, why the Gamma Doppler phases cost more than the normal Doppler phases on this knife, and when the pattern matters more than the wear. If you want to trade your skins for one of these knives, SkinsMonkey has instant trades with bots.

How We Ranked the Most Expensive M9 Bayonet Skins

The ranking uses the highest price of each M9 Bayonet item on SkinsMonkey, which is the Factory New price. The four Doppler phases, the three Doppler gems, the four Gamma Doppler phases and the Emerald each have their own item page, so each of them is a separate entry. The general Doppler and Gamma Doppler pages without a phase are not in the ranking. Rust Coat is not in it either, because it has no Factory New copy. All prices were checked on November 5, 2026 and change with the market. For many of the most expensive M9 Bayonets SkinsMonkey had no copy listed that day. For those we give the price from the item page as a reference price and say that no copy was listed. Prices in the text are trade prices for the wear we name, checked on November 5, 2026. The live “From” price in the widgets can be lower, because it also counts Market offers on SkinsMonkey.

The M9 Bayonet is one of the first knives of CS:GO and has been in the game since 2013. Valve describes it as a bayonet that was “originally intended to be mounted on a rifle” and “is also well suited to close-quarters combat”. It has 25 finishes: Vanilla, 12 original finishes from the 11 oldest knife cases, six Chroma finishes from the Chroma Case, the Chroma 2 Case and the Chroma 3 Case, and six Gamma finishes from the Gamma Case and the Gamma 2 Case. Every M9 Bayonet is Covert, knives cannot take stickers, and SkinsMonkey does not yet show reliable StatTrak prices for knives, so this list covers normal copies only.

Our video below shows every knife in CS2 with its animations, including the M9 Bayonet draw and inspect, so you can see how the long blade shows a finish before you look at the prices.

The Doppler Gems: Black Pearl, Ruby, Emerald and Sapphire

Gems are rare patterns of the Doppler finish. The game sets the colour from the pattern, so you cannot craft or choose a gem, and each gem has its own item page. Black Pearl, Ruby and Sapphire are gems of the normal Doppler from the three Chroma cases. Emerald is the only gem of the Gamma Doppler from the two Gamma cases. On the M9 Bayonet even the cheapest of the four, Sapphire, costs almost three times the most expensive normal phase. On November 5, 2026 SkinsMonkey listed only one gem M9 Bayonet in total, a Factory New Black Pearl.

• M9 Bayonet | Doppler Ruby, $9,728.96 in Factory New and $9,719.24 in Minimal Wear, from the Chroma cases. A solid red Doppler. The two wears differ by less than $10, because the Doppler float range only goes from 0.00 to 0.08. SkinsMonkey listed no copy that day, so these are reference prices from the item page.
• M9 Bayonet | Gamma Doppler Emerald, $8,436.05 in Factory New and $8,131.61 in Minimal Wear, from the Gamma Case and the Gamma 2 Case. A solid bright green blade. Minimal Wear costs about $300 less here, more than on the Ruby. No copy was listed.
• M9 Bayonet | Doppler Sapphire, $5,560.64 in Factory New and $4,697.38 in Minimal Wear, from the Chroma cases. A solid deep blue Doppler and the cheapest of the four gems on the M9. Minimal Wear costs $863.26 less than Factory New, the biggest difference between the two wears on any M9 gem. No copy was listed.

Forest DDPAT and Crimson Web: Camo Knives Over $6,000 in Factory New

Two of the top five M9 Bayonets are not Dopplers at all. Forest DDPAT and Crimson Web are original finishes with a float range from 0.06 to 0.80. Factory New ends at 0.07, so every Factory New copy has a float between 0.06 and 0.07, and very few copies have a float that low. In worn condition the same two finishes are among the cheaper M9 Bayonets, so almost all of the Factory New price comes from the float.

• M9 Bayonet | Crimson Web, $6,064.06 in Factory New, $1,093.69 in Minimal Wear and $576.32 in Battle-Scarred, from the 11 original cases. A red blade with a black spider web. Factory New costs about five and a half times Minimal Wear, and no Factory New copy was listed.
• M9 Bayonet | Scorched, $1,827.20 in Factory New and $445.32 in Minimal Wear. Black and brown burn marks over the blade. Eighth on the list, with Factory New at over four times Minimal Wear.
• M9 Bayonet | Ultraviolet, $1,816.25 in Factory New and $602.82 in Minimal Wear, from the Chroma cases. A deep purple finish that looks almost black in shadow. Tenth on the list, and Factory New costs about three times Minimal Wear.
• M9 Bayonet | Boreal Forest, $1,656.03 in Factory New and $407.96 in Minimal Wear. A dark green and grey forest camo, just outside the top ten. Below Factory New all wears cost under $410.
• M9 Bayonet | Night, $1,521.41 in Factory New and $545.04 in Minimal Wear. A dark blue-grey finish with almost no pattern. Battle-Scarred costs $426.16.

Doppler and Gamma Doppler Phases: $1,180 to $1,900

Below the gems there are eight normal phases, four for each Doppler. A phase is a colour version of the same finish, and like a gem it comes from the pattern. In Factory New they cost between $1,188.51 and $1,899.11 on November 5, 2026. On the M9 Bayonet the green Gamma Doppler phases cost more than the normal Doppler phases. Even the cheapest Gamma phases, Phase 3 at $1,514.51 and Phase 4 at $1,514.48, cost more than Doppler Phase 1, Phase 3 and Phase 4. Our guide to CS2 Doppler phases shows what each phase and gem looks like.

Doppler Phase 2, the pink and purple phase, is the most expensive phase of the normal Doppler at $1,593.88, and it had two copies listed. Phase 4 costs $1,352.93. Phase 1 and Phase 3 cost within $5 of each other, at $1,192.94 and $1,188.51, and each had two Factory New copies listed. On every phase Factory New and Minimal Wear cost almost the same, so Minimal Wear does not save money. If you want an M9 for less, our list of the cheapest M9 Bayonet skins covers the finishes with the lowest prices.

Case Hardened, Fade and Marble Fade: Where the Pattern Sets the Price

Three M9 Bayonet finishes are priced by pattern more than by wear. The prices on their item pages are for ordinary copies. Copies with the most wanted patterns are sold one by one at their own prices, so we cannot give one reliable number for them. Of the three, only Case Hardened is in the top ten.

• M9 Bayonet | Fade, $1,140.04 in Factory New and $1,138.90 in Minimal Wear, from the 11 original cases. A gradient from yellow to pink and purple. The more of the blade the pink and purple cover, the higher the fade percentage, and copies with a high percentage cost more than the price here. Four Factory New copies were listed.
• M9 Bayonet | Marble Fade, $952.05 in Factory New and $951.09 in Minimal Wear, from the Chroma cases. Red, yellow and blue swirls. Copies with only red and blue on the blade are the most wanted pattern. Three Factory New copies were listed.

Which of the Expensive M9 Bayonets Look Best in Game

The M9 Bayonet has a long, wide blade with a saw back on the top edge, and it fills a large part of the screen when you hold it. That suits solid colours, which cover the whole blade. Dark finishes like Black Pearl need light to show their colour, and in a dark corner they look almost black. This is our order for the expensive M9 Bayonets, from the one you notice most in a match to the one you notice least.

Does Wear Matter on Expensive M9 Bayonets

It depends on the finish. Doppler, Gamma Doppler, Fade, Marble Fade and Tiger Tooth have a float range from 0.00 to 0.08, so they only exist in Factory New and Minimal Wear, and on most of them the two wears cost almost the same. On the original finishes with a float range from 0.06 to 0.80 it matters a lot, because Factory New is so rare: a Factory New Forest DDPAT costs $6,853.21 and a Minimal Wear one $408.05. Autotronic and Lore start at a float of 0.00, so Factory New copies are easier to find, and there Factory New costs about two to three times Battle-Scarred.

If you want one of the camo finishes because of how it looks, Minimal Wear or Field-Tested gives you a very similar knife for a small part of the Factory New price. Our list of the best M9 Bayonet skins covers the finishes we like most on this knife.

How to Get an Expensive M9 Bayonet

Knives drop as the rare special item in cases. The M9 Bayonet drops from 16 cases: 11 original cases, among them the CS:GO Weapon Case, the Operation Bravo Case and the Revolver Case, plus the Chroma Case, the Chroma 2 Case, the Chroma 3 Case, the Gamma Case and the Gamma 2 Case. These are the same 16 cases that drop the Karambit, and our guide to all Karambit cases goes through them. Each group of cases has its own finishes, so a Black Pearl, Ruby or Sapphire can only come from a Chroma case and an Emerald only from a Gamma case. The SkinsMonkey item pages give the chance of one specific M9 Bayonet finish at between 0.004% and 0.0052% per case, and a specific gem or phase is less likely still. Since October 22, 2025 you can also trade up five Covert skins into a knife from the collection of one of the skins you put in, but you cannot choose the knife, the finish or the phase.

The Steam Community Market is not practical at this price. Valve limits how much a Steam Wallet can hold, the limit is far below most prices on this list, and money in the wallet cannot be taken out. Trading is the practical way to get a specific M9 Bayonet. On SkinsMonkey you log in through Steam, add skins from your inventory, pick the knife and the bot sends the trade offer. You can check the float and the pattern of each copy before you trade, which matters most on a Forest DDPAT, a Crimson Web or a Case Hardened. Traded CS2 items are under Valve’s Trade Protection for 7 days. If you want to know what your inventory is worth first, our CS2 Inventory Value Checker shows it in about a minute.

Bottom line

Buy a gem if you want the top price, or a Field-Tested camo M9 if you want the look for much less

The most expensive M9 Bayonet skin in CS2 is the Doppler Black Pearl, at $10,980.03 in Factory New on SkinsMonkey on November 5, 2026, followed by the Ruby and the Emerald. Below the gems, Factory New camo finishes like the Forest DDPAT and the Crimson Web cost over $6,000 because almost no clean copies exist.

On Doppler, Gamma Doppler, Fade and Marble Fade the wear changes the price very little, so pick the phase or pattern you like. On the camo finishes Factory New costs several times Minimal Wear, so Minimal Wear or Field-Tested gives you a very similar knife for a small part of the price.
