Wavy bands of violet, acid green and yellow ochre run across the blade like the striping of a reef fish, densest around the fuller and near the sawteeth, while the guard and the handle are left plain black. The stock black fingerless gloves hold it, and the M9 Bayonet is the fighting knife the US Army adopted in 1986, which works as a wire cutter together with its scabbard.

The view model holds 2,818 polygons against the stock knife’s 1,040, on 40 bones, under fourteen textures. Three are the stock hand maps at 252×250, 124×126 and 252×123; ten are pieces of the knife, among them 200×989 and 204×1001 strips for the two faces of the blade and a 68×800 map for the grip; and a 64×64 chrome map adds the mirrored sheen GoldSrc fakes on metal. The idle runs 360 frames, the draw 30, each slash and stab 36. The third-person model was rebuilt to 1,512 polygons where the stock one has 112, and nine knife sounds are in the archive. There is no dropped-knife model, so on the ground it stays standard.
