As to the size of Mike's knives, yes they do tend to be a little smaller than what we generally see in the custom slipjoint line up. Mike's thought was that his knives would be more practical for actual carry and use than the average custom slipjoint. What we generally see in the custom slipjoint line up and what is "accepted" are overly large and over built knives, even when they are fashioned after traditional patterns. I dare say that there are very few custom two blade slipjoints that truly fall in a size that most people would consider comfortable to carry, and thus the reason single blade custom slipjoints are so well accepted. Conversely, few single blade factory slipjoints were ever popular.
