I have the 81. It's a phenomenal knife.

Im swiss and here you can get swiss knifes basically for free if ur at the right place at the right time

I have many coldsteel knifes and they are better and cheaper than benchmade.

Should of made the steel beams out of these knives.

I've got a shirt I've had since the 80s when I was a kid, it's a skeleton in a wetsuit in the water cutting a dudes throat with a cool knife and it says " SEALS" A CUT ABOVE THE REST. 😂

You know where the design came from? Us 80s kids who had those neon colored plastic toy knives that retracted into the handle when you would stab so it looked as if it was going in.. They would break and the blade would fly out. You could push it into the handle and let it go because it was under spring pressure! I used to do it as a kid and thought it would be cool if it was real. Someone ran with it! 😂

Leave it to the media to make a pocket knife sound like a nuclear bomb.

The swiss army card is still my favorite. Great channel! Got my sub

Its not the knife thats fascinating its the machinery they use that is specifically made for making them. People dont think about the "swiss clock" of machines that are used to make all this cool shit!

le flag de la false

Try to find one now for 50 bucks. 😂

It may suck to lug around in combat but it's still a badass knife. The sheath and wire cutter are clever.

Mine were made in the USA. I've owned a lot of knives. I've kept both cold steel hunting knives. People that don't like them probably never had one.

I don’t go anywhere without my kobun

i have owned a recon tanto for 18 years and its no joke. it holds up to anything.

That is not to hard but the 2% Silicon spring steel is great.

Swiss Army Knives are the Starbucks of multitools -- there's *always* a better option.

I bought mine in the early '80s to carry as a concealed weapon in high school. It was stolen in '86 and just last month it came up on eBay for sale. Yup, after all these years I got my knife back. :)

This is the worst bayonet to have ever existed.

Glock also like horses.... a bit much.

I know about this gadget?? If you call it that, because my dad had a garden in germany where he had these knife pockets himself. Always get nostalgia seeing it.

Wow a K-BAR named Glock

In some ways, modern Germany is more oppressive than Nazi Germany

He copied a kbar knife

This is not the knife used by CIA in case anyone was wondering

Alien 2 knife🙂

Irony abounds as the M9 bayonet's image is the centerpiece of the US Army's Combat Action Badge.

My dad confiscated one of these off of one of his soldiers during a barracks inspection. I still have it. The tip is chipped, though.

I have a West German bayonet that fits an M-16. It is from the early 1980s. It is almost identical to the M9, but the handle is flat, it is longer, and there is a sharp edge on the top of the blade, after the saw portion. There is a small compartment on the hilt that can be opened with a 5.62/.223 round. Don't know what it is for. It has a hard sheath and also has the wire cutter. There is a screwdriver tip on the end of the sheath, and a long leather cord as a leg tie. It has the same wire cutter.

I want to add to the option of the corkscrew or the screwdriver that the swiss army equipment has been updated with the green soldier knife in 2008. This knife features a locked blade and a screwdriver instead of a corkscrew. However you can pick a red colored alternative which has a corkscrew instead, called the forester. And then there are thick knives that come with both the corkscrew and the philips head, for example the swiss champ

Some officer saw Rambo and decided to inflate his Officer Evaluation Report by getting the Army to use his crappy design to replace a bayonet that did what it was supposed to. I suspect kickbacks in the design awarding decision .

That knife is made for one thing...

I bought my Gerber Mark II in 78 while at Benning. After watching half my classmates lose theirs by carrying it upside down strapped to their web gear (load-bearing suspenders), I kept mine in my ruck. I still have it in a drawer next to my alternate revolver.

I have the john wicked handle mk2

The M9 is still in Use. It's only given to combat engineers. I was issued one during the iraq war. The main purpose is to cut wire and still have a bayonet.

Oh FFS, they sell these things in German shops nearly everywhere. Stop being dramatic! 😂

Really way too lethal? Lol there’s no such thing as too lethal. Dead is dead.

I have a Glock field knife. It's tough as nails.

i had been thinking about buying one but when i found out it wasn't full tang I knew it would be a wash. It looks cool but that's about it. I trust my bowie knife to do the job.

I got mine on FleaBay...

This was a coveted item not despised. It was largely impractical but it is cool. I was Infantry and my brothers also wanted to get possession of one of these malicious bad boys to carry in their kit. It makes an impression down range.

I've owned this knife for over 50 years, mine was never black though. Also got my EK which I got before my deployment in '69.

I’d make sure to do some research before buying cold steel knives I got a few and there are many fakes out there
