Measures 5 3/4" closed with a lanyard hole at the base.  Overall length is 10 3/8" open making it one of the larger autos Dalton made..Features an adjustment screw located where the blade lock open, which is designed to eliminate any up and down blade play.

Gun Blued Anodized Aluminum Handles. Very few of these were made. This model has a brief appearance in the movie On Deadly Ground (1994) when Steven Seagal uses it . Includes original blue netting.

Dalton knives were made in Kentucky, USA. Dalton started out making copies of Microtech's HALO and Benchmade's AFO, (like this one), then graduated into his own designs, some rather unique. All were limited in production and as such, he created a following. Many of his models, such as this one, are good investments and have increased in price and are highly sought after. This model is Near Mint. Has some swish marks at the base of the blade.
