This was a military overrun several years ago for a European force and was called the Euro 6. Similar but beefier construction than Basics and much rarer, M-INFI with 6 3/4” blade (handle-to-point) and Resiprene-C handles, in desert tan/camo, partially serrated blade. These are actually thicker than the standard Basics at .26” over the Basic .25”, with a full choil and clip point (no swedge). This knife is new, unused, and comes with the sheath pictured (very minor smoothing from sheath):

This is an absolute horse of a knife but weighs only 12 1/2 oz. Truly a man's knife. When the chips are down, this is one you can rely on to get you through.
 
For years I've thought I'd eventually replace my Basic 7 with this knife just because it's thicker, stronger a little more compact but with very similar balance and feel to the B7, and they're only 1/2 oz apart in weight. But I don't seem to be able to make the switch--I'd been using the B7 for a few years before buying this knife and just got used to it. I'm sure if I'd started out with this big "6", I would never part with it. But since it's not seeing use, and that borders on the unacceptable in my mind, I'd like to pass it along to someone who can enjoy it. Wonderful piece.

If you buy this knife and are not completely delighted with it, just send it back within a week or two in unused condition for a full and cheerful refund of your purchase price, no questions asked.
