I am however a little confused by the term 'pattern' and 'product improved pattern'. Does Mr. Brett refer to the pattern of the grooves in the handle or something else? I didn't know there were differences aside from the obvious old (straight) and new (oval) types.

Furthermore. How do the OD color Ontario's with the old style handle fit into this story? It seems from the letter that the lime green M9's were produced up and until the new style handle in OD was introduced around 2005.

Kind regard,
Menno
I think that with the word "pattern" Brett was referring to a new camouflage color of both the bayonet handle and scabbard.
Sorry but I don't know much about the Ontario M9, so will need to research a little more.
By the way, I recently found that Ontario was awarded and additional contract in 2006.
Take a look at this topic
