No pattern at all here: the blade is a flat mustard ochre with the spine, the fuller and the sawteeth left matt black, a small mark stamped above the ricasso, and the grip and guard in the same dark tone. The stock black fingerless gloves hold it, and the M9 Bayonet is the fighting knife the US Army adopted in 1986.

The view model holds 2,818 polygons against the stock knife’s 1,040, light for the engine, on 40 bones and 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, which on a finish this plain is most of what the blade catches. 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. Nothing replaces the dropped knife, so on the ground it stays standard.
