In the 1980's, after many years of searching for the ultimate Fighting/ Utilty Knife Bayonet, the U.S. Military introduced the Phrobis Generation of Knives. The U.S. Firm Lan-Cay Inc based in Kentucky made many of these knives. These knife Bayonets are still used by The U.S. Military to date. This excellent example of a U.S. Military Phrobis M9 Bayonet and scabbard was aquirred from a U.S. Army Veteran who had carried this weapon during service in Afghanistan. The bayonet has its olive green deep ribbed grip & Crossguard with muzzle ring. It has a clean 7" Bowie type blade with saw back. It also has a wire cutter assembly hole. The ricasso is crisply stamped 'M9 LanCay U.S.A'. The pommel is correctly stamped 'LanCay' (See Chapter 8 of The American Gladius' By Pattarozzi). The knife is contained in its original olive green Military scabbard. The scabbard with wire cutter attachment is complete with quick release webbing assembly, removable belt clip and sharpening stone pocket. The pocket is fitted with a steel 'skull & crossbones' badge. The rear of the scabbard is stamped 'LanCay'. The belt clip is crisply stamped ' ITW Nexus, Wood Dale IL & with patent detail' Price for this excellent complete knife and scabbard set includes UK delivery. Sn 8368.
