I have been looking at these and was wondering how well the two finger grip works. How big are the finger holes and what about the sheath is it secure and how easy is it to pull the knife out.
 
I've been looking at those too, but I'm very leery of cheap Chinese knives.

Even if it does have the A.G. Russell name associated with it.
 
I have the hawkbill Ringer. The sheath is very nice, and has a very good fit. The finger holes are nicely spaced. I wrapped min with 550 cord, and made it much, much nicer. Overall, very much worth the money.
 
A lot of the drawing issue will depend on how you decide to carry the Ringer. I carried it first in a MercHarness and then on my keys, and while it was easier to draw from the Mercharness, it was a bear to re-sheathe. The sheath retention seems pretty good in my experience, but I found myself unable to get a full two-finger grip while the knife was sheathed, having instead to switch to a more secure grip upon drawing.

That being said, you can't go wrong for the price, and I've been nothing but impressed performance-wise for such a little blade.
