Crimson Web paints the steel a deep dark red and draws black webs over it, each web spun out from a centre of its own and thinning as it spreads. The M9 Bayonet is the fighting knife the US Army adopted in 1986, built to clip onto a rifle and to cut wire together with its scabbard.

The view model holds 34,028 polygons against the stock knife’s 1,040, on 38 bones and four textures. The forearms and the glove take one 512×512 map each, the knife takes a third, and the fourth is a 64×64 chrome map, the trick GoldSrc uses to put a mirrored sheen on metal. The third-person knife runs 10,125 polygons against the stock 112. The idle runs 251 frames with an inspect in it. There is no dropped-knife model in the archive, so on the ground the knife stays standard.
