(Please click image for larger picture) The 39-09 is shown here in both of the sheaths: the removable inner sheath that actually holds the knife and the soft outer sheath. NOTE: The 39-09 has a tightly fitted inner sheath. The 39-09 is a knife that has been designed for an Italian military group. Extrema Ratio has followed their instructions in manufacturing the 39-09. The military wanted a tight retention system so the knife was difficult to remove from the sheath for safety reasons.
