Well two of my recent purchases are now up for sale. I looked forward to both of these but upon receiving them both were smaller than I had imagined (even though the specs were plainly shown when I ordered them.)
NEITHER was carried more than a few times.

With its superior construction and practical design, the MK2 is a must-have tool for those who rely on quality and performance.
RMJ Gym Rat (Graphite Black-Blackout) Nitro V $175 Shipped USPS with tracking ****SPF**** SOLD
From RMJ's website:
The Gym Rat was designed by our in-house Cerakote guru, Bryan Schellenger. Bryan wanted to come up with a small, light, but effective blade that could be easily concealed with minimal clothing, and that idea was spawned at the gym. Of course, this is a great little blade for daily carry no matter the role.
The Gym Rat Blackout has a 3 3/8" talon style blade, with an overall length of just over 5". Made from 1/8" Nitro V stainless steel, the knife is deceptively light at only 2.3oz. The blade is coated in black Cerakote for a low viz look, and it also offers a level of corrosion resistance. The knife features Black G10 composite handles with a starburst style texture, the handles are secured with Grade 5 titanium fasteners. The titanium barbell bead is there to add additional area to grab to get a solid purchase on the knife, and give you a place to rest your last digit. The handles are just over 3", so the bead is the perfect addition without creating too large of a handle.
The Gym Rat Blackout includes a Kydex sheath with a ball chain so you can wear it as a "necker", and we include an ambidextrous clip adapter suitable for pocket carry, and outside the waistband carry.
