The whole knife is one flat blue, lightening a little towards the point, and beads of water are painted across it, thick near the guard and scattered thinner along the edge. Only the crossguard is left black. 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 2,112 polygons against the stock knife’s 1,040, on 40 bones, under thirteen textures: ten separate pieces of the knife, among them 200×989 and 200×1001 strips for the faces of the blade and a 68×800 map for the grip, plus the three stock hand maps of the game. There is no chrome map, so the shine on the droplets is painted rather than reflected. The idle runs 360 frames, the draw 30 and each slash 36. The archive holds this one model file and nothing else: no sounds, and in other players’ hands and on the ground the knife stays standard.
