Please give your opinions on the Army. It looks to be a salesmans sample at 9.25".

Having had dozens of these, the dagger is the smaller size, usually carrying the EF Horster trademark. Alcoso did not make this size, theirs were bigger and better quality. The blade is an original Alcoso piece, but does not belong in this dagger.....in my opinion!

100% correct Alcoso in the larger size. Not a Horster
