Cause it's "newer" and "better" and "fancier"
I'll stick with the M7. the M9 is a rambo POS |

So true. The M7 bayonet is the proper shape to stick a human being. That's what a bayonet is designed to do after all, isn't it? |

The M7 looks better on my SP1 so I am happy.
It is all supply and demand. The M9 looks more tactical. |

I figure the "newer is better" reasoning is why.
Seems to me the M7's profile would stab someone easier. CRC |

the M-7 is a great bayonet,
the M-9 is a lousy bayonet, that happens to also be lousy at being a saw, and a wirecutter, and it has a sharpening stone built into the sheath that wont stay on. who said multi tasking was always a good thing? |

I know jack about bayonets but a guy I know who is into knives said the M7s weren't that great, but I think he means the ones that were in use when he was in the military, which was probably the french and indian war  I would guess part of the reason is that there is new machinery, tooling or something like that that had to be purchased or built to make the M9s. This new investment in equipment needs to be paid off so the price is higher. The original equipment for the M7 must have been paid off decades ago so you can still make money on them with a lower price. I would assume demand is part of that too, it is the new bayonet so people who are into that will want the new one. My impression from talking with the knife making company was that they're current sales are limted by their ability to make knives and they could sell more if they could create more. |

fuck the m9. if you want a bigger bayonet get the new USMC one but with the tanto blade. that tanto blade is pointy and sharp as hell. Good sticker right there too.

That bayonet looks intimidating, doesn't it? And the boys that are getting them will surely put them to good use.
BTW, check out my sig line. How appropriate.

I have an M9, but only for collection purposes, as I've never put it on any of my AR's. My question is this: where/how/etc is the wire cutter set up on it (combined with the sheath)?
