21 or 25

The clip on the Umnumzaan really bothered me. Created a nasty hot spot. Can anyone who's owned an Unumzaan confirm the clip ergonomics of the 25. To me it looks as close to the edge of the handle as the Umnumzaan and because of my hand size, I had to sell it.

I see the 25 doesn't have a lanyard pin hole, why won't CRK move up the pocket clip and cover up a bit of the frame cut in the process? If that happened I would definitely be in for one, no questions asked.
 
One consideration that I really notice is overall weight. I have been carrying my 25 for about 2 weeks now solid, and using it very often each day. I have gotten very used to the 25's mannerisms and feel. What I notice most now when I pick up my large 21 is the weight difference. The 21 really feels light in comparison. Having said that, I don't notice the weight of the 25 in my pocket, but there is a significant difference for those who might be considering a titanium knife based on weight. It's easy to forget that one of the reasons to use titanium in a framelock is the weight savings.

Had a 25, much prefer my 21. To me a 21/Classic/Regular is more "sebenza" than the 25, which is more "zaan". The finger grooves didn't work for me, and I love the pivot bushing on pre-25 Sebbie's - snug it tight and go, and only one wrench needed.

I tend to agree with Officer's Match on this one. The 25 is a great knife, but I find the 21 is easier on my thumb.
