Could someone please take a ruler to their Umfaan please?

[clip point]

Hi- (ooops! just noticed the "please please"...)

I've read the specs as far as length of the Umfaan, but a dimension I'd really like to know is, how TALL is the handle. I realize this is a small knife, and that's what I'm after. Just would like to know the measurement from the spine to bottom of the lock. It will help me visualize it in my feeble mind.

Thanks-

Im not sure of the size etc myself, but I ran into Paul Davidson awhile back and he showed me his zig-zag Umfaan, and I can tell you that this is a SMALL knife! Im just so use to large knives anymore it took me by surprise.
