This is a very popular knife due to her small size.
This knife sports a 2.5" x 0.125" hand-rubbed, selectively heat-treated 0-1 blade. The o.a.l. is 6.5".
She'll do a lot of cutting chores and take up very little space.

The M-9 is as described as above except that it has black canvas Micarta on a Slimline Handle sm and is totally bead-blasted. 

The term "base price" refers to (unless otherwise noted) a satin-finished blade of either 440-C on blades less than 3.0" in length and ATS-34 on blades over 3.0" in length. The knife will have a very finely sanded (but unpolished) black linen Micarta handle with Loveless bolts on knives with a blade over 4.0" in length and brass pins on knives under 4.0" in length. A base price model comes with a Kydex sheath. Knives under 3.0" in blade length come with a Belt/neck sheath. Knives with blades over 3.0" in length come with a
MPMT (Multi-position, Multi-tension sm) Kydex sheath that is ambidexterous, and has reverse-grip option, cross-draw option and locks for child safety.
Many features can be changed at no additional chage. Please do not hesitate to inquire.
