View Full Version : Buck - Phrobis 4-line value and parts needed questions
Years back, I bought used what I thought was just another military knife copy.
I have 4 LINE M9. The blade is a silver matt finish and has only sheath scuffs and a perfect egde. Phrobis is stamped in the handle guard at the blade edge.
"M9 Phrobis3 USA Pat. Pend.", is on one side and the other side says, "BUCK 188 U.S.A.>" .
I have the Phrobis stamped plastic molded sheath with the stone intact under the rear webbing and the cutter on the bottom and a ITW Nexus latch.
I seem to be missing the front pouch and the upper belt piece.
Any idea what this is worth as it is and where I can locate the missing pouch and belt attachment part?
Thanks

This is a commercial Buck 188 M9 and prices are hard to guess. If you need the parts you list look on ebay and do a serach for Phrobis. There is a seller on there that has Phrobis parts in the stores area (sells by the name 1soldure2another). I have bought quite a few things from him over the years and he used to be a member and post here. He may only have the pouch or straps from LanCay or Ontario at this time but they will work even if not correct for collector purposes.
Tell him we miss him if he wants to come back!
Pouch is here (http://www.qksrv.net/click-1642095-10381315?loc=http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D6582324462&SID=M9 Bayonet)
Complete LanCay Sheath is here (http://www.qksrv.net/click-1642095-10381315?loc=http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D6589858911&SID=M9 Bayonet)
You can find the belt attachment group sometimes but for the price a complete sheath may be just as cheap.

What Loon failed to mention in his post is that he's already posted the bayonet for sale on ebay. What is the reserve?

I assume this is your knife (http://www.qksrv.net/click-1642095-10381315?loc=http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D6597062448&SID=M9 Bayonet)?
It is a great looking knife and I have one with identical markings.
Yes, it is for sale. I've lost my income due to health issues.

This site is cool, i like!
Looks like my knife is a commercial late 87 civilian model. So it is a first year run but not military issued.
Thanks for the replies, appreciated very much!
