A.G. Russell Knives

The M9 Bayonet and the Scabbard are being made by the Ontario Cutlery Co., a major purveyor to the Armed Forces of the United States Military. They have been making one or more of the knives issued to troops for almost as long as they have been in business. When you are looking for Mil-Spec in cutting tools, this company is a good place to look.

The M9 is several years old and has been made by whoever could get a Government contract for it. The 7-1/8" blade of 420M measures 0.235" thick, almost a 1/4 inch. Hardened for toughness not edge holding, and it is tough. The blade is covered with a black oxide, non-reflective coating as are the other metal parts of the bayonet and scabbard. The 5" handle and the molded parts of the scabbard are molded from a nylon type plastic reinforced with chopped fiberglass. I am told that the wire cutter will cut the modern razor wire (ribbon) as well. Suggested retail $191.34.
