I think the M9's day has yet to come (so far as we collectors are concerned). This bayonet seems to be a bit obscure to the average guy. However, with the large number of cheap imitations now on the...

Thanks for your post & pictures of the Lan-Cay M9. It appears you have a standard first pattern M9. The very first bayonets had blades manufactured by General Cutlery. They are identified primarily...

"Ka-Bar" combat knife pattern, and "Tanto" pattern (now being offered commercially). As Bill P. mentioned, each...

Someone ought to find out if Ontario retained or destroyed the stamping dies for their USMC & US Army commemorative bayonets. If they have done so, then it is likely there will be no more produced....

EDMF had terminated production of knives sometime in 2006. My understanding is this was due to health issues the owner was dealing with. About 6 months ago I received a posting stating the M9 cast...

That is an interesting fact. Guess it begs the question as to why the Army declined to release the data. That being said, Phrobis/BUCK undoubtedly did their own stress tests to ensure the bayonets...

Carlo, you bring up a good point. The Camillus (XM8?) appears to be a fine bayonet. I even bought one NIB (1A3). I wonder how it would have fared during the XM9 competition, or during the USMC trials...

As crude as the PT 3-98 appears, I believe it was more of a "concept piece". Had the modifications been considered worthy improvements, and lead towards the potential adoption of the M9 by the USMC,...
