Here Is The End Of The "Desert Patrol" Mil. Run

Loooooong time lurker here. How does the 'height' (not sure exactly what to call it, the distance from the spine of the handle to the front) of the Desert Patrol handle compare to something like the Trail Beacon? I really like the blade shape on the Trail Beacon and this, but found the handle of the Beacon to be too small around for my hand size. My RMD has been my favorite user for over 10 years now, but something a little thinner behind the edge just might give it a run for its money. This one looks pretty great.

This is a rare opportunity to score a Mil. Overrun with the sheath included!

We have been making this specialized model for over 2 years and are finally ready to release the overrun to the public.

These are from a variety of small overruns with slight differences in blade and handle color from batch to batch.

They are unmarked and sterile!!!

At only 7.3 ounces, it is lighter than many 4-5 inch folders!!!

The knife is very secure in the sheath and the...

MOAR PICTURES!!!

Haven't even got a ding yet...I did wait until last moment...so can't complain.
 
I got a charge a couple days ago but no shipping yet. I had another knife on the order too so that might be holding it up.
 
WOW!

I predict this is destined to be a classic and sought after blade. Handle is super comfy (currently typing one handed) in all grips. Sheath is quite a surprise, super nifty overall IMHO. Our bender brethren needn't worry if this trend continues though, aesthetically it is pure utilitarian and many will still desire your services. Retention is crazy strong, this knife isn't coming out on its own. Rattle is non existent left to right, however there is some movement in my example if shaken vigorously spine to edge. Would very much like to see blade length, shape and profile variations based off this platform.
