I agree with Lee.
The Buck and Phrobis are "the" M9s.
In fact I decided not to invest anymore on LanCay or Ontario, as the Buck/Phrobis quality is much better.
As a footnote: if I remember correctly, during the Army contracts the price (not for commercial sale, but for the public procurement, i.e. what the Army had to pay to the manufactorers) for a single M9 bayonet was:
-approximately $50 for the Phrobis (1986)
-approximately $10 for the LanCay (1992), and that's why they won the contract over Buck.
So this $40 difference MUST, in my opinion, mean something.......
