Great first effort
I have average-size adult male hands and this is about a 3 1/2 finger grip for me. Meaning, I can *just* fit 4 fingers, but I wouldn't want to use it that way because my front finger would ride up onto the blade in use, so in practice this is a 3 finger grip with the pointer finger on top of the blade spine.Pros:- blade stock is thin enough for good slicing- compact size, light weight, never feels "too big" in your pocket- uncommon wharncliffe/sheepsfoot blade design- sheath design is great- sheath leather is high quality- unique colors offered. I like the teal color.- slicey blade grind- fit and finish is excellent on both knife and sheath, zero warping, etc.- arrived very sharpThings to improve:- not "bad" but the sheath color bleeds onto the scales slightly- sheath magnets could be a bit stronger- for this type of knife I'd prefer something that is easier to sharpen than M390. N690, 154CM, etc. would be fineAlso just for reference, the sheath cannot fit an ESEE Izula II. I tried, Izula's blade is just ever so slightly too wide. I think this sheath would be amazing on its own if it could fit more small knives.Overall a great first effort from this maker, I hope they continue to refine their designs, I think they have something great here.
