I was trying to be good - I really was - but things I want just seem to be jumping in front of me. First it was that SwampRat Ratmandu, in INFI; then an M18 showed up on eBay for a pretty good price...I'm a fan of Miller Bros Blades, and have had my eye on the M18 for a while now, so (like the INFI Rat) this was an easy choice. All I really have time for right now is an out of the box Show 'n' Tell, so here's the story. For those of you that aren't familiar with the MBB line, this is their standard 5/16" thick 5160. The M18, in this form, isn't exactly a modern gladius; but I've seen some that they've done that could wear that label. I prefer this version. OAL: maybe a smidge under 23.25" Blade length: 17" Handle: maybe a smidge under 6.25", textured (earth brown) G10 Weight: 1438g, aka 50.7 oz, aka 3 lb 2.7 oz Sheath: black kydex (I think they do a good job on their sheaths - I've used others that don't release as easily while marring the blade more) As with most of the items they place on eBay, there is some light marring of the blade from sheathing and storage. It's pretty minimal, and (for me) acceptable at the discounted price. Anyway, enough words - on to the pictures!

As stated in the opening post - "All I really have time for right now is an out of the box Show 'n' Tell." I'm sorry, but a full review will not be forthcoming in the near future; but how much did I really leave out that is generally deemed important? Oh, this: I am not affiliated with MBB or eBay
