The 1st iteration of this blade, by Reate, was a full sized blade (3.75''). The M stands for Mini, which is smaller (2.95") and was also the 1st iteration to have a safety lock and clip. They've just recently brought out the OG Exo, which has a Coping blade (3.75") which includes the lock, but no clip.

The M stands for the locking mechanism. The original didn't have have a locking mechanism. They make a mini but it's specifically called the exo m mini.

The M is for Midsized...there also a Mini version that is even smaller.

Got a clone of this for $50 off Amazon, locks up rock solid, no rattle. D2 blade with aluminum/G10 handle. It's just as good as the original, in my opinion, for a fraction of the cost.

Once you squeeze the handle it doesn't move very much at all.
