Blade in 1/3 increment?

Has anyone heard of a blade size 9 2/3.
I am buying a used MK professional from eBay and the seller says the blade size is 9 2/3. Is this an old model or a mistake?

I think it's an old model. I haven't heard of any current blades measured in fractions except quarter and half inches. The standard on sizing your blades to fit your boots is that they should be no more than 1/4 inch shorter than the boot from heel to toe.

everything is in 1/4" increments now

dbny is correct, they are 1/4" increments now.
They used to come in 1/3" in the MK brand.
Wilson Blades took over the MK blades company a few years ago and changed everything to 1/4" specifications.
So the 1/3" is a valid measurment with those old blades.
