Can someone do me a favor?
Please measure your Infidel blade from the front of the handle to the tip?

I know it should be 3.9" for full size, and 3.1" for mini, but I'm looking at a used one in a pawn shop that checks all the boxes for being authentic, however the blade is approx. 3.6".
Maybe it's an older version with different specs? Or maybe Benchmade measures OTF blades differently (Maybe counting the tang in the handle as part of the length).

It looks just like this one (with patent # and NSN running along the length of the blade):

Thank you for your time
 
In a reply from Benchmade they explained if just tip breaks up to 1/8” they can regrind blade to look normal to one without a ruler. May be your case.? for $40 you can get a new one if its bothering you, but keep in mind new infidel blades are missing nsn patent numbers so it will look even more like a fake to some of the men and or women on here.!?....till they git edgimicated.
