Great knife, I wonder how many they let escape without any markings?

Congrats!

I'm new to M-9s. I only have three so far, an Ontario and two Lan-Cays. So tell me how can you tell it's a Lan-Cay if it's unmarked? My son has and unmarked M-9, and I figured it was probably a chines made copy. I had no idea there were any US made unmarked M-9s. Thanks, Walt

Hi Walt, i can't reply with any photos .. That i know, it's only for my bayo, this model come directly from the U.S factory ... ( but not by the main entrance

) ..... About the chinese M9 without markings

I did not see it on ebay.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

I believe the Lancay M9 you refer to is what collectors call a "lunch-box" item. The term has been applied to pistols, etc. that factory workers craftily assemble from loose, slightly off standard, excess, etc. components & sneak out in their lunch boxes. Note the scabbard does not look like it ever had a stone applied. Basically a parts bayonet...
