I was under the impression all blades were forged and then finish-machined where necessary. Sometimes the finish-machining was minimal or sloppy. Here is a example of a shallow fuller blade utilized...

I suspect the interest in this particular bayonet was greater from the BUCK knife/bayonet fraternity than collectors whom are primarily interested the M9 as a bayonet. Such a bayonet would likely be...
