Well made commercial m9 - Smith & Wesson 8inch Special Ops M-9 Bayonet

This is an accurate reproduction of the US Army M9 bayonet made by Buck and Phobis. It fits perfectly on a 20" AR15/M16A2 upper and locks tightly on the bayonet lug. The blade is cut correctly to use the wire cutter on the sheath. Sheath has an internal spring to hold the blade tight when inserted. Sheath also has a coarse sharpening stone molded into the sheath. Blade was well sharpened when I received it, but I used my Spyderco Sharpmaker to give it a razor sharp edge. I would say the knife and sheath are just as good as the M9 I carried during my military career. A solid, heavy fighting knife should the need arise. If you can find a good used authentic M9, you will probably pay twice the price of this reproduction. A good buy. Lieutenant Colonel, US Army, Retired
