A comic-book panel is printed along the blade: a woman’s face in flat pink and white near the point, crimson roses and black brushwork filling the lower half, and the tip left white. The grip is pink and black to match, and the hands wear dark gloves covered in blue and violet print with a magenta stripe across the back. The M9 Bayonet is a combat knife the US Army adopted in 1986; together with its scabbard it works as a wire cutter.

The view model is unusually heavy for GoldSrc at 15,114 polygons against the stock knife’s 1,040, on 38 bones and thirteen textures. Three of them are the hands, at 512×512 each for the left glove, the right glove and the forearm; the knife itself is split across 200×989 and 204×1001 blade strips, a 68×800 grip wrap and smaller pieces for the guard parts. There is no chrome map. The idle runs 360 frames, the draw 30 and each attack 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.
