Mean Street Trivia:

Desert Warfare Mean Street
The specs are identical to the regular Mean Street except a) it's a little thinner, .230 instead of .250 INFI. b) Tan Micarta Handles. For those who don't know, this model is a variant Mean Street with Desert Tan, diamond quilted canvas micarta handles and a blade that's a little thinner than the standard Mean Street... .230 INFI instead of .250 INFI.

Lean Mean Street
The price for the new, extremely limited in number, .187 Mean Street is $227...just $10 more than the standard model Mean Street. Handle is diamond quilted black micarta...tan is not an option. The knife will have a lanyard hole and the trademark talon hole.
