As a former infantryman I can say through my own experiences that it’s just not a good design or durable. We had recruits breaking them left and right on the bayonet assault course. Not to mention, it was stupid heavy for what it was. I ditched it the first chance I got and replaced it with a Ka-Bar. I regret nothing.
The rearward facing accessories on the Buckmaster 184 (and subsequent iterations)were *not* designed to be used as a grappling hook. They were designed to be used as an underwater anchor to secure equipment. (Source - Buckmaster's website).
I’m a retired Army Infantryman and we hated the M9 but the older M7 was great to carry in the field. The M9 was a cool knife but it was heavy as hell and banged on things as we did our jobs. Not once did I ever use the wire cutter feature but it was a nice option to have.
When I was a boy scout our favorite camping knife was the M7 bayonet regardless of there where more famcier model available like the rambo knife, M7 was just a very good workhorse of a knife
Because it sucks at everything, for one it's too thick behind the edge & it's impossible to get an edge no matter how much you try to sharpen it. Plus the stick tang construction is very fragile.
An absolute failure I hated the damn thing And I only used it for parades in 20 years only 1 unit I served in had bayonets issued so all the other times we had to barrow from other units

Looks more like a tacticool mall ninja wallhanger prop than usable tool. Especially without full tang.

Have read that the SEALS hated the Buck master as well, too big/heavy and those grappling spikes were useless in real life.

Bajonet knife? It is either a bajoet OR a knife, but not both! Saying bajonet knife is like saying sabre rapier. Makes no sense!

Its a solid design, until you get to the tang... then it just all falls apart. Too weak a design and too much weight for the handle.
My grandpa give me this and still use this on camping
It was OK for opening cans if you lost your can-opener.
when you try to do everything but fall short on all of them lol. Could have been such a great knife
The M-7 is a better bayonet and a better fighting knife when soldiers are trained in the Fairbairn-Sykes techniques.
Most of these depicted are not real M9 Bayonets.
My Regiment did not a bayonet, we are Rifleman use a sword
M9 Bayonet is still being issued worldwide. Somehow it’s a flop?
