The best blade I've ever owned!
By NorthTxRaider
There is only one brand to look at when it comes to buying good quality, strong, durable knives... Ontario Knife.I picked this up in December of 2010, spent about 30 minutes putting a good edge on it, and have used it incessantly ever since. Yes, 30 minutes to sharpen it, with a comnination of stone nad diamond embedded stell hones... that itself says that the steel is excellent. A Cheap knife will sharpen in 5 minutes, but will lose it's edge quickly also. You will love the weight of this Bayonet! It mounts easily on my AR-15 (when I hunt hogs at close range, it's a nice close range weapon) and the sheath attaches well and sure to my pistol belt, vest, pack, wherever there is an Alice or Molle spot free.You can look at other brands such as Smith and Wesson, SOG, etc.. but the extra cost for hte Ontario is definitely worth it. I have some S&W and SOG knives, and I'd take my one Ontario M9 Bayonet over 1/2 dozen others into the field.Yes, the wire cutter functions perfectly on barbed wire and horse fence, and a small web strap with velco will ensure that it's secure against your leg when hung on a pistol belt. THIS IS THE ONE TO BUY!

great knive!!
By Frislian
this is a very very strong knife is rough, for military use, but can be used as a survival knife, very durable but simple finish, has a very thick blade steel excellent, but difficult to sharpen, which means it is hard to blunt. something heavy.

Combat Bayonet/Knife--One of the best
By TroyV
Rarely do I rate a product 5 stars ,however, the Ontario M9 Bayonet is the real deal. As an Army Vet and die heart hunter I only buy what can survive in the toughest conditions. This bayonet is sharp and extremely durable /applicable as a combat hand to hand knife or a solid bayonet for my Mossberg 590A1 Shotgun or on an AR 15 platform. The sheath with the knife works as a wire cutter if needed. If you've been trained to handle/deploy a bayonet this is certainly a top choice/tool you should consider for your TA Gear.
