now that's a knoife!

i'll bet 10 skrodoons the 'proprietary' HC steel is 1075.

wonder if it has a removable handle like the M9.

So they basically turned the Ka-Bar into a bayonet and have it made by Ontario. Ok.

i'd say it's a hot-rodded Kbar, very, all the tests it passed, the top notch-sheath, the ergos of the handle prevent blistering under hard use etc.

I've had one for about 2-years!!! Not bad, yes it's a Glorified Kabar at .200" thick bar stock, 8" blade and I know I sure like it alot more than the boxy M-9.

New?

This has been around for quite a while.

And it is a better balanced general use knife than the M9 is. I found one in a pawn shop last year and I like it a lot. The FF6 from Ontario is the non bayonet version with a plain edge and not as good sheath. IMO. I have both and I like the Marine Bayonet better.
