cutting edge
Carlo, you can see in the first photograph the sharpened edge. Look closely @ the rear edge and compare this with any Phrobis/Buck M9. You will readily see the sharpened edge stops further from the crossguard than all others. If one were holding the scabbard in the proper wire-cutting mode, the (shorter) sharpened edge would avoid any danger of slicing the user's fingers. One other feature I failed to mention is the scabbard is of the first pattern like that made for the XM9 trials. It does not have the step & screw-advance to adjust the cutterplate like the production models do.
