Deep blue fills the blade and a lighter cyan crackle runs through it, the branching pattern of ice breaking up rather than of water flowing; the guard takes the same blue and the grip keeps a fine checkered wrap. The M9 Bayonet is a fighting knife adopted by the US Army in 1986; paired with its scabbard it works as a wire cutter.

The view model holds 2,818 polygons against the stock knife’s 1,040, on 40 bones, under fourteen textures: the three stock hand maps, ten pieces of the knife including 200×989 and 204×1001 strips for the faces of the blade, and a 64×64 chrome map that adds the mirrored sheen GoldSrc fakes on metal. The idle runs 360 frames, the draw 30 and the stab 36. The third-person model was rebuilt to 1,512 polygons where the stock one has 112, and nine knife sounds ship with the archive. Nothing replaces the dropped knife, so on the ground it stays standard.
