this is a US M9 ,i wont post Bayonets i know this is a knife forum , but this is classified as a dual purpose fighting knife/bayo so it walks up to the line of bayo but still a kinife, this is the military version albeit appears either un issued or  very lightly used , has the Bianchi military holster  , this knife is impressive , the feel it has while handling it is amazing , because i is a dual purpose it is sharp and carries the factory edge , never resharpened

    The 'normal' issued Version 2 of the MK2?  Do you have a company target?

    I stumbled across a version 1 MK2.  When I found it, I didn't even know there was a failed version.

    the Camillus they issued me they serial numbered so that is what perplexed me , maybe it is Navy , Boatswains use all gauges of line so ,,,,

    i cant find much of nothing on it , i think it was $20 so it was a no brainer

    I cannot offer an explanation about the painted SN on the Ratton folder...

    The only thing I have that is painted, is a 1905 Brazilian bayonet that has the rack number painted on bayonet and scabbard.  I have seen other bays that had the rack numbers painted.  Never a SN though.

    Odd to see a SN painted...  Nice find!

    no , i do not really get that specific ,i just take them as they come as long as the price is fair and not total dogs , if rough and the price is right ii may grab to fill a hole until a better example presents itself , i did that with the Mk1 USN , i have one i believe had the tip broken at some point and reshaped to remove the damaged , i knew something was off about it but the price was reflective

    i have the pawn that has 8 locations and will bring anything from the other locations to my local shop , i have a antique mall that has produced and then a few outdoor flea markets that produce as well , FB market is hit and miss , a lot of flaky people on there but i did get the 5th variation M3 off there for $50 which was a extremely good deal so its still worth suffering the idiots to get a deal done from time to time , still some good people mixed in and fair or better deals to be had , i generally avoid online anymore because shipping has gotten insane , it costs the same now to ship a bayonet that it was to ship a rifle a few years ago , so occasionally i will throw a low bid on ebay to offset the shipping , nothing held so far
