Posting a couple days' worth of Shiro carry, I went small for hosting five home games Sunday, then went with a large user for a few work-like tasks around the house and yard today.

EDIT: somehow my 2nd pic didn't load--I just looked back, found it missing, and added it in.

What models are these and how do the size of each compare to say a small and large Sebenza 31?

Thanks

The larger knife is an F95 Turtle--F as in flipper with a 95 mm blade (3.75"). A large Sebenza has a 3.61" blade. The smaller knife is a NeOn UltraLite which is a variation of the original NeOn Lite, the difference being open back construction on the UL. That one has a 3.375" blade compared to the small Sebenza's at 2.99". The original NeOns have been supplanted by the NeOn Zero line, just ever-so-slightly larger and now including the original PJ version, the NeOn Zero NL (with inlays), and the HatiOn Zero (lock side Ti, show side CF).

I prefer larger knives and have a bunch of full-size CRKs. I like and use them a lot. The F95's are a bit more hand-filling and don't seem particularly large to me, but I've got folders with up to 4.25" blades that I carry and use regularly. My first Sebenza was an inlaid small which I sold after picking up my first two larges. I just couldn't get a good grip on the small. I find I can get a three-and-a-half finger grip on the NeOn and it often gets pocketed when a smaller knife seems a more appropriate carry. I've got thick, arthritic hands and need more real estate on my knife handles for any use.
 
With our renovation still running behind schedule we started packing up the truck to head up to our Blue Ridge, GA home for the holidays. We knew what to expect….but these delays are starting to get a bit ridiculous.

Anyway, since I only have access to this small 31 at the moment it looks like it’ll be filling in as my “Dedicated Travel Knife”.
