The EX3909OP Operativo is a 12.5" fixed blade built for serious use: a 7.25" Bohler N690 cobalt stainless blade with MIL-spec black finish paired to a full-tang NATO elastomer handle that won't slip in wet conditions. The dual-sheath system sets it apart, combining a soft nylon outer calf strap with a reinforced fiberglass-composite inner sheath that protects the blade and allows quick access. This is a working knife designed in the Italian parachutist tradition, backed by a hard carrying case and removable inner sheath for versatile deployment. 12 1/2" overall. 7 1/4" BOHLER N690 stainless cobalt steel blade with MIL-C-13924 black finish. NATO MIL-SPEC elastomer Forprene handle. Full tang. Double sheath style. The outer sheath is a nylon soft sheath with straps. Inside there is a hard sheath made of a nylon composite with 15% fiberglass. This is where the blade actually rests.
