Here are some pictures of my new MS-5 from Stoner CNC. PLEASE: Keep in mind that this one is a blemished version that I chose knowing that it would be imperfect. If you buy a non-blem, it will be much nicer!

Very nice sheath and case included.

Close up pictures including the very clever tension adjustment solution.

Nicely chamfered edges on the handle. Very comfortable to hold. Sasquatch hands will need to go up to the MS-6, IMO.

Cool machining on the bevel. Also, fullered with holes. The holes are meant for paracord braiding, if I remember correctly. MS-6 has 5 holes. I'm not sold on this feature, to be honest.
Overall, a very cool knife in my opinion, that offers a lot for a fair price.
Note: I think the two tone is only available on blemished models.
