I could have posted this in one of the existing threads but I didn't think it would get much notice. This is a question that I have heard asked/stated as being a negative for the carry of this knife, mainly pocket carry. I took some pictures that I will post as I go along. Some of the measurements are as follows; thickest point of the handle (middle) .75".
As you can tell, the knife handle begins to taper down towards both ends, giving it a very comfortable feel in hand, at least in my hand I know for sure. Here's the front of the handle, which measures .62";
And here is the rear of the handle at .64";
Not sure if you can see it, photo's are sorta blurry, but the edges of the handle are formed at ~45 degree angle, thus doing away with the sharp edges that some larger knives could possess. This has been done all the way around the handles and adds to the comfort of holding/using this knife. There are knives that come along every so often that simply speak to me on a different level than others, and as long as I have used/collected knives there are only a handful of knives, that for me, fit in this class, with the Adamas being one.
I hope this has shed a little light on the question of the Adamas being a thick, and blocky knife. I also know that the measurements as given will still be much too thick for what some folks are looking for in a carry knife. This post is mainly geared towards those people who may be on the fence about buying one and who may be thinking it is too thick to carry comfortably.:thumbup:

My folders go in my jacket pocket. I don't notice much in there and it's easy to get them in and out.
