I'm so glad I watched this video. I was about to sell mine but I'm keeping it now. I got it with my 590A1.

Hi Bob, I have the same M-9, in black also, the M-9 was also designed to be used as a survival knife too, there use to be a video by Noss, on KZfaq, titled "the Russian AK-47 vs. The U.S. M-9", Hip Hip Hurray, for the U.S. of A.

the reason the scabbard detaches from the bianchi belt attachment is so you can use it to cut wire without removing the entire thing from your war belt.

Wish u was still around

I just got mines earlier today, this knife is no joke, tough as steel, 100% heavy duty, super solid, heavy as a brick, this knife is not cheap at all like all the others, and will never wear down.

Take a shot every time this guy says “heavy duty” lol

Always loved the intimacy of knives, no psycho. btw., just a lover of good steel, it's pretty big but I would so go well in my collection, not a huge fan of serration as they tend to give certain trouble in pulling out of targets on the bayonets, but good on regular knives, but over a lovely piece Ontario knows its trade, Shame it lacks the sharpening stone and extra pocket of Phrobis pattern, also would have gone with the grren olive

I got one of these from some knife/sword store for $40, it even said the suggested retail price should be $99, the guy working the store thought the belt clip was some kind of slingshot.. it's like they hire anyone haha

That Knife costs more in CS:GO then on this Store....

Good review. I'm thinking of picking one up. Does anyone know how they compare to the M7 bayonet as far as strictly a combat weapon? The M7 is made of carbon steel and I think the dagger design modeled after the M3 design may be more suitable in that role.

Can you explain to me what do you mean by "modified 420 steel"? I mean what upgrades it has compared to normal one.

is this blade supposed to have an off-center grind? I got one recently and one side of the blade basically doesn't even have a secondary bevel. I could touch it up but Idk if it's supposed to be like that.

so that what that hole in the blade is for. always heard there was a wire cutter but never saw how to use it.

what is the difference between ontario m9 490 green and m9 493 black?

Hmm, one thing I just can't comprehend why the M9 bayonets made after 1994 have non-fullered blades. The ones made before 1994 did have a fuller, granted the 1993 ones had a thinner fuller than the ones made before 1993, but why did they drop the fuller altogether?

That is the kind of knife we love... Some tactical knife

Real surplus m9 bayonets are about 120 USD right now. Lower quality reproductions are about 50. Surplus AK bayonets that are essentially the same thing but fit AKs are about 20-30 usd right now since they are really easy to find at the moment.

Very smart system.

is it factory new?

This sheath hangs down too low which requires a leg strap and the handle bangs against the buckle with each step you take. There is also no pouch for a sharpening stone. I had to modify a single pistol mag pouch to fit this sheath. The Buck M-9 sheath is a much better design. It sits higher up on the belt, has two straps to keep the knife in place and comes with a stone pouch.

Is this a full tang? And would it make a great survival knife.

The US Military never issued a black M9. They only issued green and tan. The tan version has USMC in the handle. Ontario knife company has civilian models that they make in China. The black M9 is one of them.

wooow i'm going to buy this knife:DDD amazing quality *.*

It was designed for ALICE webbing but it probably does. Anything ive messed around with that had ALICE clips still worked on the MOLLE stuff. The M10 bayonet by ontario is essentially the same thing. Only the blade is 420 modified stainless steel instead of 425 stainless steel and the belt clip is specifically for MOLLE. The handle is also slightly different between the two. They both cost the same thing. And are both black anodized. DONT get all stainless finish those are reproductions not mil.

will this fit MOLLE?

can you ship to other countries?

This is one tough bayonet !, Noss did a destruction video, M9 vs. Russian AK-47 bayonet, guess who won, Hip Hip Hurry, for the Great U.S.A. after watching the video, I got the M9, and at a pawn shop I also got the AK-47, But I'm Proud to be an American !!!

I don't like the grip on Ontario's knife, I like S&W's handle, but I heard their blade's steel was crap. It's it possible to trade the grips out? Or even better, does Ontario have one of the thinner grips like Smith and Wesson so that way I don't need to buy 2 knives just to trade pieces out?

I want to buy one but too bad. I dont live in the USA. You should make it possible to ship to countries outside the USA

can somebody tell what in the world the "circle" on the guard are made for? nice design but cannot figure it out

how much is that knife?

Also the M-9, was copied from the Buck Buckmaster #184 Survival Knife, used by the Navy Seal's during the Vietnam War, I have the Buckmaster, and you can see the similarities.

I'm buying one! Today! :D

I use the wire cutter as a bottle opener

Combact or survival knife?

7:27 did he decided to be extra fancy for a second there?

Got it for $99.99, gotta love Amazon : )

Click the link under the vid for the price.

To drain out water dont you mean blood

@dandotreillydot42058 No, sorry.

Ontario does not provide the stone. Nice blade but incomplete scabbard.

Normally I would have to question someone who calls a sheath for a knife a scabbard.....but seeing how solid that sheath is, I'd say it's pretty accurate.

The tang...It`s small as heck.
