Excellent fit and finish, and very comfortable in the hand...perfect finger choil vs. thumb ramp positioning.This knife was made specifically for a team of US Special Forces solders that were operating in Iraq out of FOB Edge.

Only within the last few months have these pieces been offered to the public. Blade Steel: Cerakoted A2
