Right, I read you didn't have it anymore but didn't know if you had any pics you didn't put in the review.

I have lots of other pictures, but sadly none that show my chopping grip with the HDFK. The grip with the Difensa is pretty similar. If I am seriously chopping I drop back so only three fingers are on the handle. Both the Difensa and the HDFK do a good job of staying secure in the hand in this position. Though I do use a lanyard with both.

Awesome thank you.

I have a size 10 hand, but by the looks of it thinner fingers.

I'm always super curious about how it works for others as I don't know any Knife people geographically close to me to compare against.
 
Thanks for the review; I currently have a Difensa and was looking at this as a replacement as it seemed more general use friendly. But overall based on your comparison I will probably stick with the Difensa as the comparison is so close and really it is a shot in the dark getting one of the CPKs (plus I need more of a stabber than slicer if that makes sense).

Thanks again,
Andy

If you were starting from no knife I would say go with the CPK, but since I made the same choice I can't say you're wrong ;)

They are both really great knives. And honestly, the Difensa is one of my all time favorite knives.
