M9 Bayonet Crimson Web Guide

The M9 Bayonet Crimson Web has been a beloved choice since its debut in 2013 with the Arms Deal update and the Revolver Case. Known for its vivid red blade adorned with spider-web patterns, this skin quickly became iconic. It was a go-to for players looking to refresh their loadout not only because, at the time of the M9 Bayonet Crimson Web’s appearance but also due to the fact that vibrant knife options were more limited as compared to the current situation.
Eventually, with most of its 1,000 unique patterns available, the Crimson Web offers something for everyone. However, the placement and clarity of the web hubs significantly influence its value, creating a distinct tiered system among enthusiasts. Let’s check the existing tiers of M9 Bayonet Crimson Web patterns and see how they are different based on specific examples.
What Makes the M9 Bayonet Crimson Web Stand Out?
The M9 Bayonet Crimson Web made its debut in CS2 11 years ago, back in 2013, as part of the Revolver Case and the groundbreaking "The Arms Deal" update. The idea behind its design—a deep red tint in the background with a striking spider web hydrographic dipping film pattern—instantly sparked excitement and discussion within the community. Yet, out of the 1,000 possible variations of the M9 Bayonet Crimson Web, some are valued higher than others.
What truly sets the Crimson Web M9 Bayonet apart is the number of hubs and their placement on the blade. These unique characteristics play a significant role in determining the value and visual appeal of each knife. But before diving into the finer details of how these patterns manifest on the Crimson Web M9 Bayonet blades, let’s take a closer look at the design itself to fully appreciate its intricacies.

The patterns are categorized into three main groups based on the number of visible hubs: Single, Double, and Triple ones. The knives from the last category are considered the most valuable and sought-after. They come with three main webs spread across the knife and can cost multiple times more than M9 Bayonet Crimson Web Patterns from other categories. Here’s what #706 Minimal Wear triple hub looks like—arguably the best M9 Bayonet Crimson Web seed currently existing.

Double web patterns are considered to be among the more popular and rare designs, ranking closely behind the triple web patterns. However, they don't quite carry the same "elite" status or sky-high price tag. Still, the most sought-after M9 Bayonet Crimson Web pattern is often subjective, and who’s to say a double hub example can’t be the perfect one?
To wrap up this section, it's important to note that single web patterns are the most common and are often viewed as “trash” by many in the skin-trading community. And for the most part, they’re not wrong in this assessment. However, there's a twist: single-web patterns that feature a central hub placed perfectly at the center, with no broken lines, can actually be even more valuable than some triple-web patterns, especially when the latter are unevenly spread.
Also, we need to point out that there are so-called fake web patterns that you should be cautious of. It's important to know how to distinguish the real web from a fake one to avoid getting scammed. Make sure to take a close look at the details because sometimes the differences might not be so obvious, especially on certain seeds. Stay attentive, as scammers will often try to pass off fake patterns as genuine ones.

Returning to the topic of broken lines, this is the primary factor that divides Crimson Web patterns into three distinct tiers. That’s right—there are three tiers, each with three categories. The first-tier patterns are the most sought-after, typically featuring 1 to 3 Real webs that are clearly placed somewhere in the middle of the blade. These webs are boldly visible, making them extremely desirable. As we move down to the 2nd and 3rd tiers, the pattern’s visibility decreases. Broken lines, especially those that disrupt the flow of the web, become more prevalent, diminishing their overall aesthetic appeal. Consequently, these patterns are considered less valuable compared to their first-tier counterparts.
And the last thing in determining the price of CS2 M9 Bayonet Crimson Web is its condition. Here, everything is simple: The worse the knife’s condition, the less of a pattern will be visible. Naturally, this leads to a decrease in its market value. Well-maintained knives with clear, visible patterns will always command a premium.
M9 Bayonet Crimson Web Seeds
Now, let’s take a closer look at examples from all three tiers, examining their differences, pros, and cons. We’ll explore what sets each tier apart, what makes them appealing, and how each seed impacts the value and rarity of the M9 Bayonet Crimson Web.
1st Tier
Group | Patterns |
Tier 1 | Single: 8, 53, 138, 150, 167, 188, 224, 256, 281, 325, 378, 396, 405, 453, 489, 518, 528, 531, 604, 614, 642, 658, 667, 687, 701, 709, 716, 717, 723, 745, 755, 773, 800, 808, 826, 832, 872, 879, 931, 938, 952, 953, 955, 958. |
Tier 1 | Double: 1, 16, 146, 173, 180, 241, 268, 344, 381, 393, 420, 488, 553, 575, 602, 611, 665, 697, 704, 778, 853, 858, 937, 972, 994. |
Tier 1 | Triple: 718, 72, 133, 297, 756, 469, 441, 145, 13, 459, 857. |
Starting off with the first tier, we have the Triple Web Pattern #459 — this example is widely regarded as one of the finest Crimson Webs available. This example features 3 clearly visible webs, with a vibrant red tint that is flawless, showing no signs of scrapes or gaps. However, despite its impressive appearance, the webs aren’t perfectly aligned with each other, which keeps this pattern affordable compared to other top-tier designs.

Triple Web Pattern #459; Minimal Wear; Price: $1,250
Next up is the Double Web Pattern #241. This design comes with 2 webs positioned almost at the same height—one near the blade’s tip and the other closer to the handle. Most of the community would agree that this pattern has a cleaner, more refined appearance compared to the previous one, with a smoother overall look. As a result, the price of this pattern is notably higher.

Double Web Pattern #241; Minimal Wear; Price: $1,330
To get a hint of why single webs are so undervalued, let’s take a look at the Pattern #952 in Field-Tested (FT) condition. The main issue with single webs, and the reason so many of them end up in tier 3, is that above a certain flow, the pattern inevitably gets damaged. If with double and triple ones, there are other visible “backup” webs, single webs instantly turn into a red, unattractive knife with random scratches scattered across the surface. So, while it technically belongs to the 1st tier, its poor condition actually makes it worth less than knives from the 3rd tier, where the damage is often more evenly distributed.

Single Web Pattern #952; Field-Tested; Price: $475
2nd Tier
We’re moving on to the 2nd tier, which is easily the most versatile and inclusive out of all M9 Bayonet Crimson Web groups.
Although the tier 2 value is generally lower than that of tier 1, some patterns from this tier are highly sought after due to their superior condition. One such example is Pattern, like, for instance, #785. In Minimal Wear (MW) condition, it looks almost perfect, and despite having the same 3 webs placed diagonally as some tier 1 patterns, this particular model fetches prices of up to $2,000, surpassing many first-tier options in terms of both price and popularity.

Triple Web Pattern #785; Minimal Wear; Price: $1,800
Next up is a whole different story with Pattern #594 in FT condition, priced at approximately $1,000 worth. However, this one might be overpriced. Although it’s classified as a Double web, yet not a single web link is clearly visible. Additionally, the handle area and the tips of the blade appear quite messy, giving the design an overall unpleasant feel.

Double Web Pattern #594; Field-Tested; Price: $973
For the third tier 2 example, we’re diving into an “it’s so bad it’s good” scenario. These are the Battle-Scarred (BS) knives that have only a slight resemblance with regular Bayonet M9 Crimson Webs. These patterns lean heavily toward glittering gray and black tones, with little to no red coloration. However, certain BS patterns can still catch the eye. For example, if it looks cool, like a BS #164, the pattern can easily hit the $1,000 mark and even exceed it if the pattern strikes the right balance between rarity and visual appeal.

Single Web Pattern #164; Battle-Scarred; Price: $1,100
Group | Patterns |
Tier 2 | Single: 29, 32, 58, 60, 66, 104, 122, 123, 132, 135, 142, 151, 154, 164, 178, 184, 186, 189, 191, 192, 198, 201, 218, 219, 228, 235, 236, 243, 245, 246, 250, 251, 257, 264, 272, 284, 285, 293, 294, 295, 298, 303, 304, 307, 309, 310, 315, 317, 318, 321, 322, 323, 324, 328, 330, 333, 334, 336, 339, 340, 353, 354, 363, 373, 374, 380, 384, 386, 387, 389, 399, 400, 411, 413, 415, 418, 423, 425, 427, 429, 430, 431, 437, 444, 461, 463, 471, 472, 480, 504, 523, 524, 530, 537, 538, 544, 549, 551, 559, 560, 562, 565, 568, 570, 571, 577, 579, 580, 586, 592, 593, 601, 605, 606, 607, 612, 624, 630, 637, 639, 643, 646, 653, 660, 671, 675, 679, 685, 690, 691, 696, 702, 708, 724, 729, 730, 731, 739, 740, 746, 747, 749, 751, 754, 758, 762, 766, 768, 776, 794, 798, 801, 803, 806, 812, 817, 825, 828, 834, 849, 852, 854, 855, 862, 864, 869, 871, 874, 875, 880, 884, 897, 898, 901, 903, 904, 910, 922, 923, 933, 936, 943, 944, 945, 949, 966, 968, 975, 982, 996, 998. |
Tier 2 | Double: 4, 40, 42, 54, 57, 65, 69, 92, 96, 102, 111, 131, 136, 139, 141, 143, 162, 165, 168, 174, 175, 196, 208, 225, 232, 254, 269, 289, 300, 305, 331, 332, 375, 383, 390, 397, 401, 412, 421, 426, 428, 435, 436, 438, 457, 468, 481, 483, 536, 546, 555, 594, 596, 626, 645, 651, 673, 683, 705, 707, 727, 733, 757, 784, 787, 802, 822, 833, 839, 841, 850, 860, 865, 867, 868, 894, 911, 918, 942, 950, 961, 965, 979, 995. |
Tier 2 | Triple: 38, 181, 260, 349, 490, 525, 590 725, 759, 785, 962. |
3rd Tier
Last but not least in our guide is the 3rd tier, often dubbed the most “trash” category of Crimson Webs. While knives in this group are far from perfect, they aren’t entirely without merit. However, they always seem to miss the mark in one way or another. The most common flaws in tier 3 Crimson Webs include randomly placed spots that lack synergy or cohesion. Even if it’s a 3rd tier triple web, the design can confuse you into believing it’s a single or a double web—especially if it's not in pristine condition. To truly understand why these knives fall short, let’s look at three different examples that highlight the defining characteristics of this tier.

Triple Web Pattern #870; Field-Tested; Price: $655

Double Web Pattern #992; Field-Tested; Price: $1,155

Single Web Pattern #265; Field-Tested; Price: $1,150
Group | Patterns |
Tier 3 | Single: 17, 18, 22, 26, 27, 47, 48, 49, 67, 68, 71, 73, 76, 81, 82, 84, 94, 95, 105, 106, 113, 114, 115, 118, 120, 127, 155, 157, 158, 159, 160, 161, 166, 169, 170, 171, 187, 193, 197, 199, 200, 205, 212, 215, 216, 222, 226, 234, 237, 239, 240, 244, 258, 263, 265, 270, 274, 280, 286, 343, 348, 350, 358, 362, 367, 369, 382, 385, 395, 398, 433, 440, 443, 445, 446, 447, 450, 452, 456, 458, 476, 477, 478, 482, 491, 494, 495, 497, 507, 515, 526, 529, 539, 540, 543, 552, 561, 563, 582, 583, 589, 597, 598, 603, 618, 621, 622, 631, 636, 648, 650, 652, 655, 656, 663, 668, 678, 680, 688, 689, 695, 698, 706, 712, 714, 726, 732, 736, 738, 761, 770, 781, 789, 795, 796, 810, 820, 829, 838, 840, 842, 843, 844, 845, 846, 866, 873, 876, 885, 887, 890, 893, 895, 912, 914, 915, 919, 920, 924, 925, 948, 951, 956, 957, 960, 974, 978, 981, 984, 987, 989, 993. |
Tier 3 | Double: 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 11, 12, 14, 31, 34, 36, 37, 46, 50, 52, 62, 70, 74, 78, 79, 83, 88, 89, 103, 108, 109, 112, 119, 124, 125, 126, 129, 147, 163, 202, 204, 220, 221, 227, 233, 242, 247, 252, 271, 273, 278, 287, 292, 301, 302, 313, 316, 319, 320, 346, 352, 355, 356, 357, 361, 366, 368, 370, 376, 388, 394, 406, 407, 414, 419, 432, 434, 449, 454, 474, 475, 486, 487, 492, 493, 496, 498, 501, 502, 505, 509, 512, 513, 517, 519, 527, 535, 542, 545, 556, 557, 558, 569, 573, 574, 576, 578, 584, 608, 616, 620, 628, 635, 640, 644, 669, 699, 719, 752, 760, 764, 771, 772, 774, 775, 786, 788, 799, 807, 813, 836, 847, 848, 886, 899, 900, 907, 909, 929, 930, 932, 935, 947, 985, 986, 991, 992, 999. |

How to Get M9 Bayonet Crimson Web Skin?
This M9 Bayonet Crimson Web guide wouldn’t be complete without tips on acquiring one of the coveted patterns we’ve discussed. However, picking the ideal pattern is only half the battle—the real challenge lies in finding and purchasing it. As you’ve likely noticed, many examples from our list are either Field-Tested or, in the best-case scenario, Minimal Wear, and there’s a good reason for this.
Even when the rarest Crimson Web M9 Bayonet is unboxed, it tends to vanish almost instantly into private collections, pro players’ inventories, or high-end trading circles. For those determined to snag one of these elusive treasures, third-party websites can be your best ally. These platforms allow you to track specific pattern listings, monitor prices, and set alerts. However, be prepared—tracking down even a tier 3 triple web pattern can demand substantial time, energy, and money.
For casual CS2 players, though, the difference between patterns isn’t always that noticeable. Many would rather spend 10 minutes on a server than obsess over web placements under a magnifying glass. If you fall into the first or the second category, don’t sweat it too much—choose a pattern that fits your budget and enjoy the game! Whatever your approach, stay tuned to our guide, and refer back to our guide anytime you have any questions or need a refresher. Whether you’re a serious collector or just a casual enjoyer, we’ve got you covered.
