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.

Hi,
yes, now I can see the reduced sharpened edge clearly on the first picture...didn't notice it when I first read your message.
But now I have a second question
What do you mean with "
It does not have the step & screw-advance to adjust the cutterplate like the production models do"?
As far as I know, the XM9 trial scabbard had two screws of the very same lenght, while on the production model the screw's lenght was different (one shorter).
Looking at the second picture you posted, I can see a longer screw too
P.S. Sorry for these too many questions, but my english is not that good
