Picked this up from New Graham Knives, great place btw 
Knife is the smaller version but for me a handier size with a
blade just under 3" long. The handle is similar to the full size
knife with a thick aluminum scales that are bead blasted and
have grooves that face inward from each end of the handle
making an excellent griping surface, of course along with that
nice grippy texture, comes an abrasive pocket wearing feature
if you use the clip, BUT remove the clip and the knife fits the
hand very nicely, so a sheath is in the near future, right now
I have a few great pairs of pants by Columbia, they have a neat
side pocket with a velcro closure at the top and a pen pocket
adjacent to that, not cargo pants but a sleek side pocket.
It also has a security pocket on the right front side, so you have
a main pocket, which also has an internal small cubby hole pocket
for change! and behind that is another full length pocket that has
a zipper closure, I had missed these pants for a long time, but since
dropping my weight down I can now fit into these 33" waist pants
once again!
Back to the knife, the blade is flat ground and comes down to a convex
like edge, push cuts like a dream, I touched up the edge a little on arrival
and it tree top cuts hair easily now, very sharp knife.
Lockup is also solid, the axis lock mech seems to work great, I can pull back
on the lock and lightly flick the knife into operation quickly.
A very robust knife, some may say it's too bulky but for me I like a knife
that while in use doesn't twist in your hand, the guard area is very secure
and provides a safe feeling while cutting.
Highly recommend this one, while I liked the larger version,
it was just too large for me, I know a lot of you guys like a great big folder,
but they often get in the way of themselves in every day type of use.
