★ M9 Bayonet | Lore is a legendary reimagining of the military classic, released with the Gamma Case series in 2016. This knife uses a "Custom Paint Job" finish: the long fuller blade wears a luminous gold gradient bordered by a darker burnished edge, while an intricate Celtic knot pattern runs down the center-hallmarks of the “Lore” theme. The spine sawteeth and guard are tinted to match, and the olive-green handle keeps the tactical silhouette grounded against the regal blade. Artwork placement is largely fixed, so pattern seeds only nudge the knot spacing without changing the composition. In Factory New condition, the coating is pristine: no edge chips, spine rub, or discoloration, so the gilded fade and knotwork remain razor-sharp in inspections.
