I had already contacted the seller and mentioned that I thought he was mistaken and asked if he was including the thumb notches, which I let him know were standard on the Mode #11... He replied that it's a 5" blade and that is an option... I didn't want to quibble w/ him, so I went to you for an expert opinion... err, I mean fact!!...Thanks for the reply, 'cause it's reassuring to know that I OCCASIONALLY know what I'm talking about.

Thanks again,
