This knife is very similar to the standard issue model I am currently providing to active duty operators within Naval Special Warfare. The 3/16" steel is 52-100 with a no-glare finish. A full tapered tang means great balance. The knife measures 9" overall- blade length is 4 3/4". Handle choices are curly maple, black micarta or recycled rubber. The versatile Kydex lined leather sheath can be worn vertically or horizontally for right or left hand draw with simple adjustments. Brown leather sheath for wooden handles, black for rubber or micarta.
