USA M9 Military Phrobis III Fixed Blade with Scabbard ; Shipping: Paypal (F&F) - $10.00 Additional.
Excellent Vintage Condition
The M9 (MPBS) is designed to be used as a baynet, fighting knife, general field and utility and wire cutter, in conjunction with its sheath.
EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION:
The knife consists of 4 major parts: The blade, handguard, handle and latching mechanism.
In general outline, the blade is similar to the Bowie Knife; it is 7.125 inches long, 1.438 inches wide and .230 inch thick. The blade is manufactured from 424 stainless steel and is hollow ground. It has a saw along its spine, a straight false edge which forms part of the cutting surface for the wire cutter, a 3.25 inch fuller on its right side and an oval shaped wire cutter slot 2 inches from the point. A “T” shaped stud on the scabbard’s wire cutter plate fits through the slot so the blade and scabbard can be mated together to form a wire cutter. The blade’s spine had been machined with a saw, which is 3.90 inches long, .400 inch wide and has 46 teeth set .060 inch apart. The saw is intended for emergency use, such as cutting through lite non-ferrous metal. The entire surface of the blade has been glass bead blasted to give it a dull, non-reflective finish.
