Grey and orange hexagons scatter across a black blade, packed tight around the sawback teeth and thinning out towards the point until the steel goes plain black. The guard bar and the tail of the grip are painted a flat orange that picks up the same accent, and the hands are in plain black gloves. 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 holds 2,144 polygons against the stock knife’s 1,040, on 40 bones and thirteen textures. The blade takes two tall strips, 200×989 and 204×1001, the grip a 68×800 wrap, and the guard is broken into small maps of its own; the hands keep the stock game sizes under the porter’s file names. 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.
