Here is the knife on EBAY!

Description Phrobis International M9 M9A1 bayonet produced to commemorate the Coalation members who fought to liberate Kuwait and stifle Iraqi agression during Operation Desert Storm 1990/91.
Phrobis was unable to convince the U.S. Army to adopt the improved M9A1 over the original M9 pattern bayonet. After Phrobis dissolved their relationship with BUCK whom was contracted to produce the M9 for the U.S. Army (and sell the bayonet commercially as the BUCK 188), Phrobis entered into an agreement with MARTO in Spain to manufacture the M9A1 blades.
Although the M9A1 was manufactured with black, tan, or green components, the Desert Storm Commemorative, with a limited production run of less than 800 units, was the only version made with "sand" colored components. This is a duplicate from my collection. It is in excellent condition and appears never to have been on the cutter-plate.
