About ★ M9 Bayonet | Damascus Steel
The ★ M9 Bayonet | Damascus Steel in Well-Worn brings the wave-patterned Damascus finish to the M9 at the WW wear tier. Same procedurally generated steel-grain pattern as the FN and MW versions, same metallurgical aesthetic, but at the wear tier where the M9's broad blade still carries the wave detail across the play face with the surface character of deep wear adding industrial-tool credibility.
Why WW works on M9 Damascus Steel
Damascus Steel has no colour layer to lose saturation and no pattern lottery to vary by seed, so the WW wear sits on the surface texture rather than the design itself. The wave pattern remains legible on the M9's broad play face, though the wave-grain contrast softens versus FN. The M9 silhouette stays dominant, and the deeper wear character pushes the metallurgical aesthetic toward genuine industrial-tool territory - the finish reads as a functional knife rather than a display piece.
