After a ton of emails, knife sales, paychecks, and my left nut I finally got my MSC 6.5 to add to my D-9. Definetly 2 completly different knives. The D-9 is very large and utilitarian and the 6.5 is a sweet fighter IMNSHO! Thanks to all those who helped (you know who you are). I can't recommed these 2 knives more highly. Thanks Duane and Mick. Damn now whats next?
