Newbie here
 

Hello all,
New to the M9 community but not to knives. I have several Randalls, Martins, Custom Damascus fixed and folders, Autos, Ivory handles, Gerber's, benchmades, Kershaws, etc... I carried a Gerber Patriot on my Flight Vest when I was a flight engineer in Bco 3/160th S.O.A.R.(A) during the early to mid 90's.

Just bought a 1st gen early production LanClay with the blood groove for collectability and plan on getting a standard one for my m4. Now I want a Special ops commemorative since I was a part of Socom back in the day.

Hope to see you on the "boards"

Jason

hi
 

Hi hello I'm a newbie here..how are you guys?

Full auto newb here...
 

Hey Guys,
I've know about the whisper for a while, my dad has been a varmit hunter for all his life. I'm into various things, military style guns being one of them. I recently decided to pull the trigger on the purchase of an old select fire AR15. I first looked at SSK high quality products, though I came to the conclusion I may do better DIYing it(could be wrong).I found out Randall at ar15barrels.com is not taking orders. The only unit I could find is a 16" unit at ar15products.net. I plan on using a Gemtech HVT (9.22") as it (suppresses) the most bang for the buck form what data I could scour off the net. I would like to keep the overall length under 20" preferably 16". I would also like to use a one of the new Colt or LMT Monolithic uppers machined, if necessary, to have a nice transition from handguard to can. I've given up searching on ar15.com as the minute wait between searches is maddening and there isn't much there about the Whisper anyhow. Any info from you guys running select fire, suppressors, especially Mr. Jones' stuff, I'd love to hear from. Also looking for soucres for barrels and opinion on supressors. I found a lot of good info on silencerresearch.com but nothing on the SSK units or the .300 whisper unfortunately.

Thanks,
Jay

Hi,

New member here --- been reading the forum as a guest for some time, figured i should finally register and contribute. I live in Texas and have been collecting knives, firearms and various survival, tactical and military gear since I was a kid as a compliment to my love of the outdoors.

I trend toward rugged production knives as I like to use what I "collect" so you'll see more posts from my about how many trees I've felled with a Gerber BMF than you will about how many customs I have sitting in a display case.

I've also started blogging some gear reviews in recent weeks....you can check my blog out here: http://mcpgearblog.blogspot.com/

M7/Imperial Bayonet
 

My call sign is Wyo manwolf, and I'm new to this site. I work at a RTC (regional training center for the military) in Wyo and was given 30 plus M7/Imperial bayonets w/ scarrboards. 25 are still in the original packaging. Can anyone tell how old they might be and what they are worth?:uzi2:

I posted one small comment about my bayonets but a little more about me. I've been collecting knives for the last ten years, mostly small ones, pocket knives. I go by Joff, old family name. I'm an instructor in Wyoming, teaching urban and close quarters battle combat techniques to out going troops to the AOR. Look forward to hearing more about all the bayonets that are out there. Thanks for reading.: uzi2:

Hello from NC
I am not a knife collector, but have always kept a large number of knives. Today I give most of my knives to my grandson.

Retired (2006) USN Diver, surfer and collage student.

Say Heah, Quarterbore and Freinds, Let me start by telling you what knives I have, and you will see that ""I'm. Crazy and average guy" her I go...in the late 70's early 80's I bought a knife from a sportingood store that was gooing out of busssiness. I never heard of Cold Steel before then. Since - only had buck's and sharades knives that I could buy from K-marts, uncle bills etc. Well anyhow the knife turnedb out to bbe a san mai trailmaster, the choi is shorter then the new ones and has a tooth or like a nipple which I like better. I feel that design looks stronger then the new ones. The homogoricly grind is much better then my new natchez, it is japaneses made the natcches is not. Then I found out 9.4. And started collecting carbonV's. But before alll this the Sylvester Stalone craze and the "Rambo Knives" caught my eye so I went out looking for one. Only to find a Buckmaster 184 . Back to Cold Steel Knives, I have the loradoN 2 recon scouts, rec0on tando, trailmaster, oda, and asrk these knives are all in carbonV's my natches and original trailmaster are san mai3's. I have a bounch of frost cutlery pocket knives with stag and pearl handles. I also have the vaquero in a vg-1 by C.S. A talwar and black sable in san mai, a black rhino and a rajah1 in AUS8 ,then I have german solingin steel like a boker' edge, weidmannshei this one is a 3 1/2 clip point, then I have a canaduan bellt knife by him also. Then I met a patient of mine tthat worked for ford and he made me a knife add thatt to my knives, then I have a k-bar and a camillus k-bar I suspect its a cabonV since they made the steel for C.S. For them. Finally I have troophy stags in damascus a benchmade 16, annd gerber silver trident bouble serrateded blade in a 154cm a sog elite trident 2.0 a crkt. Ultina a 1
W.w2 theather knife.N and finalll$y a onterio magnum stealth and a old weestern knife and ax combo... If I think of more I will ammend this...nice to meet y'all and G B Y'all...paul but my friends calle me paulie

Amateur collector from SW VA
 

Hello everyone, I"m Wulf (my real name is William, however most people online and in real life call me Wulf). I'm an amateur collector and have been collecting knives of all kinds since i was about 6. I mainly have focused on Victoronox (swiss army knives), bayonets and hunting sheath knives. Aside from that I am a disabled son of a Vietnam vet, and when i'm not playing with a knife of some sort i'm usually working on a firearm, pc or playing my 360.


I don't have any specific focus on the knives that I collect (tho these days I focus on quality first) the few that I can be proud of is my Buck 184 (i believe i traced it back to being made in 1985) a small handful of bayonets my father brought back from Vietnam. If you've any questions I'll do all I can to answer them

Hello!
 

Hello to all! My name is Scott and I am from WV. My screen name is Skippy-somehow got dubbed that by my co-workers, so it kinda stuck.
I picked up a Krag-Jorgensen 1898 "Bowie" style bayonet at the flea-market over the weekend; and, was wondering if any of you guys would happen to know anything about it. I cannot seem to find out who made it , how rare it is, or what it is worth. A big thanks in advance for any information!!!

Hi all
 

Hi all from Oregon.
I am interested in various firearms and blades. I have a few firearms that I like to go out and shoot and have fun with. I also have a few military knives and bayonets. I have recently started collecting AK bayonets so that is my latest addiction.

:welcome:

Hello to all memebrs, My name is Davis and i here because i heard it was a pretty cool place to be a part of so i hope to see some cool things and learn a few things

Hi to everyone
 

Im new here and just want to drop off to introduce myself. Im Kyrre by the way and I hope we can have a lot of discussion to talk about. Have a great day everyone.

Hey Davis, I'm new also. Just kinda wandered to the forum because of some old pieces I have. Looks like it'll be worthwhile for research on my current (future) inventory.

I am Mike, a 32yr old guy from West Virginia that up till a few weeks ago knew little to nothing about bayonets other than they went on a gun and stabbed things. I found this place because my boss is a buy/reseller of surplus stuff and has a metric buttload of M7s, M9s, and OKC3s'. Found this sight while trying to do research to figure out the value of all these blades and this place has proved a priceless resource. And I am sure over the coming weeks I will probably be bugging some of you all trying to find the information I need to keep the bossman happy :)

My name is George Darlington, middle name of Rex so I go on here as rexmeyer... I like all types of military weapons... I had quite a few different types at one time...I am 58 and have been on here for some time... Not sure of the date... I am an avid m9 collector and have been lucky enough to snag a few rare ones over the years... It is getting harder and harder to find the good ones now... I like different types of knives. The german gravity knife, german trench knives, and type of knife that catches my fancy..I used to collect just about everything... I am especially fond of German WWII items..

hi all, new here. stumbled onto some old forum content while searching the web and liked the site. my name is mel and I am from NY (the hunting and farming part). Been shooting and hunting most of my life. I recently discovered the .300 whisper and want to own one. I have an encore and would like to run a 200 - 240 smk subsonic. I need/want a 10 or 12 in. barrel. At 1x8 twist looks like SSK is the only game in town. I found their(SSK) web site frustrating. Cannot find any used ones for sale. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Hello and thanks.:twoguns:

I have been lurking off and on for awhile
I have learned a great deal from this site
thanks

I've been a lurker here until just recently, but have long been active in several other forums. My main focus area is bayonets. I'm not specialized on one country, era, or type, but am more of a generalist. The info here on the M7 and M9 bayonets is some of the best around.

Best Regards,

Ralph E. Cobb

Hi Ralph,

Welcome aboard.

Welcome!:welcome:

Long time lurker and have used this excellent forum for research about both the M9 and the BUCK 184.
Finally deceided to register, as I stumbled over both blades and bought them in an okay deal.
Fantastic to hold the 184 after decades of longing to own one.
Quite like the M9 too.

..... :welcome:

Thank you, sir!:grin:
