Buck Knives 188 - M9 Bayonet - Retro Knives

Buck manufactured M9 bayonets for the commercial market, While Phrobis served the Military one. The commercial bayonets were identical to the military bayonet with one obvious difference; the left ricasso of the commercial M9 bayonet has the same markings as the military model but the right ricasso had Buck's name and model number. When the military contract ended in 1989. having broken ties with Phrobis, Buck moved their company name and model designation to the left ricasso and the right ricasso was left blank.

Phrobis made commercial bayonets, particularly the M9A1 which were commercially sold when an attempt to produce an improved M9 for the military failed, many of these becoming commemorative items.

Taiwan has set up a thriving business making M9 look alikes, and there are a multitude of variations. Medrano was the first of these, but now S&W market a range of M9 look alikes under their name, as well as several other large commercial companies.

One of the biggest manufacturers of commercials is LanCay themselves, who produce a huge range of colors, and etchings and added styles. These are identical to the issue items but are not official.
