About ★ M9 Bayonet | Ultraviolet
The ★ M9 Bayonet | Ultraviolet in Field-Tested is the deep-purple solid-colour finish on the broad M9 blade at the FT wear tier — the practical budget tier for the Ultraviolet monochrome aesthetic between the MW visual clarity and the WW/BS budget bands. Ultraviolet has no procedural pattern variation; what changes between wear tiers is the surface texture cleanliness rather than the design itself.
Why FT works on M9 Ultraviolet
The Ultraviolet finish is a uniform deep-purple treatment that holds its character across wear tiers. At FT the wear sits on the play-face edges, the spine, and the handguard rather than as a colour-shift across the central blade surface, so the purple base reads consistently during the inspect animation. The M9's broad blade carries the deep-purple character across the largest visible inspect surface among knives.
M9 Ultraviolet FT as the practical entry
For M9 buyers wanting the Ultraviolet aesthetic on the broad blade at a practical budget tier without the WW/BS visual degradation, FT is the standard pickup. The float-tier band within FT is the primary differentiator within the tier, with the Ultraviolet character reading consistently across the full FT float range.
