Ok, told yah I'd do a review this weekend, so you're getting one. :p
As large as my hands are, can use a 4.5" handle comfortably, I find these little guys comfy. Enough to get a decent grip on, without sticking out a foot on my belt.
Handles:
3" handles, 3 finger grip. Either my index is along the spine or my pinky grabbing air. Got used to that quick enough. Haven't done any heavy use jobs yet, other than making pizza on saturday. More on that later ;) .
Blade/Edge:
2.5" of edge, modified drop point, more than sharp enough. Already taken a few chunks out of my fingers, no blood yet. Give me another week of using before I take a stone to em. Should have figued out where the edge is by then :o Didn't quite shave when they got here.
Sheath:
Thought they might be tight until I got em on my belt. Just about perfect tension. They pass the sleep test & sheeple test, They don't print at all, and when I take my vest off no-one asked about em.
Using em...
Saturday... pizza... 1: cans of sauce. Took a little work to get the tip in, but the cans opened up quick. 2: mushrooms. 4 pizzas, 1lbs of mushrooms. not a problem. 3: meat. 3 packages of meat, again, no problems. Edge held up quite nicey on the cans, but I've also gotten the hang of doing that from work(no can opener in the staff room).
Sunday... pencil crayons... why my niece has to bring me a full package rather than look for a sharpener is beyond me... anyways, I made quick work of it.
overall: well worth the wait. He'll get mroe work from me before too long.
