Knock Off M9 ??? -- And a real BUCK 188\

Maybe it's Japanese? I'd have to dig it out. But it's a knock-off, M9, near exact copy in every way -- except there's a cheapo compass under the web strap on the back side of the sheath.

Polymer/plastic grip and sheath are black, not green.

Webbing is lighter weight, no edging on the pouch. More a "forest green" than an olive drab.

Not a single marking on it anywhere, NOTHING! No country of origin, no brand, no numbers, letters, marks.

Fit and finish are decent. It's not a "cheapo" . . .

On the other hand . . .

I scored a BUCK last night.
