Anyone get a Mini A-100?

How does the mini A100 (or reg A100) feel in hand? The only EKIs I've handled are a 7 and a mini 7 and I love the ergos on them. I look at the A100 and I just see a rectangle. Am I missing something?

Well, I just received the mini today and the full size a week or two ago.
They make a fantastic combo, for a smaller edc and for bigger edc stuff :p
For me, the rectangle shape with the G10 scales are great !

I also have a CQC-7- A, it fits the hand nicely, as it has a more ergonomic shape. Having said that, the A-100 whether mini or full, feel good in hand as well. The human hand and mind adapt quite well to the tool being used.
I was a butcher for 38 years and when I first started, all the boning knives were wood handles, in the shape of the A-100 rectangle so for me there great.
Later in the meat industry, they came out with poly molded handles, and that's all we could get, I really don't think they made a difference to a lot of us, we were used to the no frills handle. I'ts all in what you are willing to get comfortable with, the rest takes care of it self.

Damn, I was hoping you would say it's terrible - now I have another $100 + on my list. :)
 
lol.. I know what you mean, like I was saying, the mini came in today, and already I have a Horseman marked as a must have. Seems were never satisfied,there's always another on the horizon.

Jeez, i love the white handles on that - wish I was handy like that!

I really like the 100....but I think I have to pick up a military first. And before that, I really need to stop putting off buying the sebenza - yes, that should really come first...

But the A-100 looks awesome. Nice and simple.

So many great knives available and not enough time or funds to try them all. Isn't it great? :p
