A matte black blade with acid yellow along the cutting edge, over the sawback teeth and across the point, plus three short yellow slashes near the tip and a small flame-shaped mark on the guard plate. The same mark is repeated on the strap at the wrist. The M9 Bayonet is the fighting knife the US Army adopted in 1986, and paired with its scabbard it works as a wire cutter.

The view model holds 2818 polygons against the stock knife’s 1040, on 40 bones, under fourteen textures. Three of them are the game’s own hand maps at 252×250, 124×126 and 252×123, so the black fingerless gloves are the ones the game already ships; ten more carry the knife piece by piece, with 200×989 and 204×1001 strips for the two faces of the blade; and a 64×64 chrome map adds the mirrored sheen GoldSrc fakes on metal. The idle runs 360 frames, the draw 30 and the stab 36. What other players see was rebuilt at 1512 polygons where the stock third-person knife has 112, and the nine knife sounds are in the archive. There is no dropped-knife model, so on the ground it stays standard.
