EDC Poll! What would you prefer

[KFU]

I am going to be making 10 or so EDC knives next week and would like your input on them. My last model was about 6.5 overall with 3" blade. I have a wharnie made with closer to a 4" handle and 2.5" blade. Would you rather have a bigger handle with shorter blade or the size I made before?
The warnie would be whatthe bigger handled one would look like with a drop point.

Here is the 3" bladed one

I would prefer the 3" blade version with the 3.5" handle.

 

[vickmacky]

I prefer a 2.5" blade myself. 3" is a little too long for my taste.

 

[woodysone]

If it were my EDC, I would like a 3" blade and 3.5 plus handle and don't forget a lanyard hole!

+1 Chris.
3.5"+ handle would be great, maybe even up to a 4".
Great question, thanks for asking . .
Be safe.

Yeah! What they said

4" handle = good grip for those of us with gorilla paws...

 

[Daniel Fairly Knives]

Great looking knives! I'd prefer all of them.

3" blade / 3.5" +++ handle.
Hope this helps Chris.

 

[Alan2442]

3'' blade
3.5 or larger handle IMO

Starting to sound like an EDC blade length with an Bushcrafter handle length to me, Chris.

STRONGLY agree....shorter blades,longer handles + your forward swell handle design.

I'll never be a Knife Authority....but in a half-century of owning & using knives,one thing is paramount: hand comfort.

If it doesn't 'fit'...if it wears you out from gripping the little short stubby handle....it'll end up in a drawer....or in a trade!

Need more blade length?

Get a machete.

Need a chopper?

Get a Wetterlings.

Need a work knife?

Get one that fits your hand.

End of story.

Gnarly, you are so gonna like the Wharnie! I just finished up the little Nessmuck that I will be posting up on Wed and yours is next with handles. It should be on its way to KY(not the jelly) by Friday. You want thick or thin scales?

 

[KFU]

Well it looks like a split really. I think Im going to do half and half. I want to keep it small enough to pocket carry so 6.5" OAL will be it.

 

[Gnarly]

Can't wait!

In fact,tell the UPS driver I'll meet him at Cedars of Lebanon exit on I-40.

Tell him I'll be driving the white race truck,with the mad monkey decal in the back window.

I drive way too fast to worry about my cholesterol.

Not sure if you meant handles for my WharnieFrightenedSheepie,or the Nessmuk?!?

Prob'ly thin scales,but I defer to your judgement.
