Congrats...Love it...Could you take another pic showing how you use the bracket attached to the sheath? It looks like it might attach to your belt but I've never seen a picture of one attached.
I wonder why they left this model with the sharp end, unlike the Supers...

We have found 3 boxes of SPECWAR Blades that had been lost in our move a couple of years back in a recent clean up and shuffle to make room for more machinery one of the guys moving some dusty boxes said, “What are these?” And there they were. Some of the blades were logoed, marked and even sharpened. Some were blanks waiting to be ground. And some of the blades were in the original Hard Chrome coating. I think some of the dates actually go back to 2001. So, we are now re-issuing SPECWAR knives in both Model A (Clip point) and Model B (Chisel ground Tanto). Since we were building new handles we changed them to stand-offs and we made some color variations never before used on the original SPECWAR Models. Of course we have the Basic Black, but in addition we have Afghan Tan, OD Green and a few Dark Woodland Green. I forgot how good they feel in your hand until I picked one up off the assembly table. These knives are awesome.

Do not miss this one of a kind opportunity to own one of these rare, vintage, retro knives. They are as good now, today as they were when I was putting them into the hands of the warriors who were willfully heading into harms way. You too can own a piece of Emerson military history by picking up one of these SPECWAR re-issue knives today. The supply is extremely limited so don’t delay. They won’t last for long.

No...There's only one out yet. The Stonewashed plain edge Black handle is available, I just had one in my basket.

Did you look at SPECWAR under "Knives"? They have a bunch coming up with Tan, Forrest Green, OD, and Black G10 Grips...They are being prepped now for release.
