CURATOR'S NOTE

Vanilla is strongest when read as a composition rather than a colour sample. Grey carries the first read, while Black gives the surface its structure. The result is a bare steel and factory hardware that feels intentional on this silhouette rather than pasted across it. On ★ M9 Bayonet, that balance gives the finish a distinct role within a curated inventory.
DETAILS / CLOSE-UP
PRIMARY READ
Across the blade face, Grey establishes the strongest read of Vanilla. This is where the bare steel and factory hardware feels most concentrated and where the ★ M9 Bayonet gains its visual anchor.
STRUCTURAL BREAK
The spine and edge introduces Black as a structural counterweight. Rather than competing with Grey, it separates forms and gives Vanilla a clearer rhythm on the ★ M9 Bayonet.
FINAL ACCENT
At the handle and hardware, the exposed material acts as the release point. That quieter transition keeps Vanilla from becoming visually uniform and closes the composition with a distinct material break. On ★ M9 Bayonet, this closing zone is especially important to the way the finish resolves.
