Here is the description:
Quote:This is the Ultra Rare, impossible to find Clear -Lucite- M9 Bayonet manufactured in extremely limited quantities by Lancay.
Made as a 'display only' knife for the Army's armorers this knife is now super rare and in person a very unique and beautiful knife.
The knife was made of Lucite so that armorers who were new to the knife (during its introduction) could see the inner workings such as the retaining clip and tang and how the knife functioned.
