SW3B 12.8in S.S. Fixed Blade Knife with 7.8in Bowie Blade with Notched Spine and Nylon Fiber Handle for Outdoor, Tactical, Survival and EDC

I purchased the SW3B M9 style bayonet specifically for use on my Mossberg 590A1 Retrograde. Can’t have a shotgun with a bayonet lug and no bayonet handy am I right? It fits the shotgun well, not perfect, but well. With just a little bit of effort, and I mean very little, it fits perfectly. The only criticism that I have so far is the wire bender/cutter feature. The post that serves as the pivot point for the blade is not tall enough to accommodate the thickness of the blade. This makes it impossible, at least on mine, to use the wire cutting/bending feature without some material modifications. This is not a major issue for me, just some feedback. All in all, a very good value. The blade is good, the handle and lug connector are very very solid. I will definitely purchase again if I have the need.

First, lets get one thing out of the way. If you own a 16" M4 AR style rifle with a carbine length hand guard, then the M9 bayonet will sit too far back on your rifle. The weapon is designed for rifle length barrel and fore grips so that the bayonet ring rests on the mil-spec flash suppressor. If you put this knife on a carbine and then complain that it is loose, then you are just showcasing your own ignorance of a weapon you choose to own. You can use a bayonet on such a rifle if the flash suppressor is removable. Such is my Bushmaster M4A3 Patrolman Carbine. I was able to purchase and install the Tacticool22 Carbine Bayonet Adapter to allow proper function of this bayonet on my platform. Just Google "tacticool carbine bayonet adapter" and it should be the first result. That plus the cost of a new crush washer and you are set. I have uploaded a photo here showing this installation to the customer images section of this products page. If you own a rifle with a shorter barrel and welded flash hider, depending on configuration, it may work. Again, assuming your rifle has a Mil-Spec flash suppressor. The M9 is designed for the M4 and M16 weapons platform. If you install it on a shotgun and then proceed to blow it apart, well, a shotgun is not an M4 or M16. That said, this Taiwan manufactured "replica" is well made. I am quite pleased with the purchase. You can expect the finish to wear from the blade with time. The blade is stainless which is difficult to finish. Even my stainless Sig-Sauer's anodized finish is wearing off with repeated insertions into a holster. These are tools and I do not expect them to not wear over time. If you want a true M9, check out the OK6143 from Ontario here on Amazon Ontario M-9 Bayonet, Black, Scabbard OK6143 at twice the cost. Ontario is currently one of the official military producers of this knife. Having never owned a genuine M9, I cannot offer a comparison of this one from Smith & Wesson to the original, but I can attest to the fact that it is well made and certainly surpasses my expectations for its cost. I am very pleased with the purchase (at fifty dollars) . This knife comes with a lifetime warranty.

What a great knife, I definitely recommend getting this knife any firearm that can handle a M7-M9 bayonet style knife. The knife came razor sharp and fits my Mossberg 590A1 like a glove. Its scabbard holds it firmly and is built just as solid. Maintaining several holding straps, belt clip is a sharpening stone on the reverse side. The only thing not mentioned by the manufacturer or distributor is the sharpness of the teeth on the serrated side. They are not sharp at all, that is to say you wont be cutting your way through any barbwire fences with them at any point. However, it does have a very redeeming quality; the serrations are the full thickness of the blade making them into a very destructive area of the knife itself once retracted from its impaling. Other features include the knife, used in conjunction with the scabbard, can be used in a scissor like tool or prier. I have gone to the range with this attached to give it the ultimate test, and it both stayed on and took very minimal punishment from the bird shot fired from the barrel (a few scratched from stray pellets and powder residue that came off with a little bit of solvent and a patch). 5 Stars all the way!!!

This knife is awesome and very heavy in the hand of course it's an m9 bayonet so it's gonna be heavy. The blade arrived very dull but the tip was pretty pointy for the stab by work. This blade is also fairly large so you definitely will feel like you're carrying a huge blade even though this thing is only about 11 inches or so. That handle is extremely comfortable and the sheath is the only complaint I have with this knife. The coating on this knife gets scratched off very easily due to the metal spring in the sheath. But as another reviewer had mentioned that I found on here, he said that you can pull up the little tab by using a thing kitchen knife to get between the little plastic piece and the metal clip slowly and slightly firmly lift the knife up and try to get a bit gentle so you don't break the plastic bit. Once it's lifted up the metal clip will fall down and so will the other plastic piece it will be at the bottom of your sheath just shade them out on a table or some place clean so you won't lose your plastic piece if your hands are big enough just catch them. Line the plastic peace up with its original hole where it used to help keep the metal "felt" thingy and just use your knife to push it back in the hole and you're good.

This is a great bayonet, built tough with everything you need. Includes a barbed wire cutter and a sharpening stone built into the molded sheath. There is even a nylon pocket sewn onto the sheath strap that is great for a little paracord, matches or some emergency gear. The fit to the sheath is very good for belt carry. Using it upside down on a vest is not recommended without the bolster straps as it will start to slide out. Bolster strap could be a little tighter but it is stitched on the sides and ends for extra security so fraying should be minimal over time and with wear. Straps are attached with rivets and screws. There is a quick detach buckle that allows removal of the knife in the sheath while still wearing the belt attachment. The knife itself is heavy duty. The blade is a little less than 1/4" thick. It looks to be powder coated which I see as a negative because when I used it to actually cut some wire it stripped off some of the finish on the blade where it rubbed on the blade pivot. This needs to be tight of course to cut wire but a black oxide finish would have been better protection. You can actually see the edge of the coating and this may strip off over time. Other than that the blade is sharp and cut several small branches easily. I wet the handle down to try it out both bare handed and with gloves and the polymer handle provides plenty of grip. For the money this is a nice knife.

But this for my cousin his birthday is around Christmas. Size is huge very sharp it appears to be easy to use and it also has a pouch for a flashlight curability I don't know safety it seems to be okay well the head edge hold I have no clue. But I know he'll love it. He's been talking about this for at least a year. I told his wife not to get him one because I already purchased it.

Nice sharpness, easy use, great for the price

This knife is worth more than the asking price. I read a lot of reviews about the scratches due to the clip before I bought the knife, but decided to buy it anyway. Factory sharpened but comes to a nice razor edge. Very strong and solid in the grip. Perfect size for combat or in a jam with wild animals while hunting or in the wilderness. Solution to clip scratches: If you look in the sheath without the knife, you'll see a little piece of plastic that looks like it would come out if you stuck a blade between it. Stick a steak knife in there and it pops right out; it will fall in the sheath, just turn it over give a shake and it will come right out. You have just exposed the clip, which you can simply shake out or use the steak knife to wiggle it out. The clip is OPTIONAL! Place the little square plastic piece back with the sharp side up and give a tap with a heavier knife and it should go right back in. No more scratches! You can now do of of two things for a better fit. You can bend the clip so that it would not be so snug on the knife and put it back in or you can get a piece of leather the length of the blade cut it out as if it were a sheath; stitch the edge along the blade side, and you can put it back in the original plastic sheath for a nice snug fit. This will preserve the black paint on your knife. Enjoy.

Passt exakt auf die Aufnahme des M16. Klassische Messerscheider und Koppelgerödel. Für alltäglichen Gebrauch nicht wirklich brauchbar, da sehr schwer.
