Only M-9 Bayonets made by Lan-Cay, Ontario Knife Co, Buck Knives or Phrobis are made in the USA and are the real M-9 Bayonets used by military forces around the world!
Okay so you have been browsing M9 bayonet listings on ebay and see sellers selling Made in China, made in Taiwan M-9 Bayonets and M-9 #901 bayonets as the real thing, but they are not, they are not even close. Most of these knives are selling for around 54.99-59.99 and being advertised as the real deal, they are cheap copies made in China. Do a search on Google type in made in china m9 bayonet and it will take you to the website for the Zhejiang Xianfeng Machinery Factory in China. Or just check out gate-operators dot com and that will show you their complete website and the fake knives they sell.
Before you buy any M9 bayonet claiming to be used by the Israeli military ask the seller if that bayonet says stainless on the blade or rothco or stainless taiwan or has simply a serial number. All of these are fakes, there is no made in China M-9 used by any military anywhere on this planet. In other words, these sellers are lying to you, and you should take your business elsewhere.
Before you buy from anyone claiming their bayonet is hard to get or made to military specification, realize that any bayonet you buy from China is a copy, a counterfeit and will begin to rust the second it is exposed to moisture, including humidity. The plastic is just that, cheap plastic and not the real Zytel used on the USA Made issue M-9 bayonet (even though they will lie in their listings and say it is). Only made in the USA products are issued to the military, if you bought a piece of junk made in China knife thinking it was a collectible, it will not be worth $20.00 the day after you buy it.
So you got ripped off? Let the seller know in the feedback and demand your money back for a product that is not as advertised, report them to ebay for selling counterfeit goods, which is against ebay selling policies, don't let these people who care nothing about you or the quality gear that soldier's really need get away with it!
Here are the pictures from the Zhejiang Xianfeng Machinery Factory in China's website so you can tell a fake M9 when you see it.
Remember, anyone selling these fake bayonets is lying to you and putting our soldier's lives in danger, don't stand for it.
If you want to buy an M-9 Bayonet, buy the real Made in the USA M-9 from LanCay, Ontario Knife, Buck Knives or Phrobis. If you want to buy from an honest seller, buy from us M9 Outfitters.
