For those who have actually tried the Olamic Busker -- how do you like the size?

I really like the Stryder PTs but the Busker is even smaller -- I'm undecided.
 
I'm wondering myself , I have a 247 and love it. So the quality is a given , but the size is a question
 
I am eyeballing this one too and size (and availability) are my biggest concerns.
 
I think I have seen all the available vids but don't recall any that shows a Busker together with either a PT or a Pillar.
 
I believe the Nick Shabazz videos compare the two. I know I saw the two side by side in one of his videos. They're very close in size.

Edit - try this:
About 1:15 in if the jump doesn't work.
 
Thanks for the vid -- I must have been listening when I should have been watching!

The PT is slightly longer than the Pillar, which I prefer. And it's a four-finger grip for me.

That said, I still find the three-finger Pillar quite usable (but a bit heavier than I like.)

As for sizes -- I have a 2.75 inch Shamwari, which I was sure was the perfect size for me. When I got my 3-inch Shamwari today, I found out how wrong I was.

I wish Olamic would make a 2.99 inch front-flipper.

I tried...to look at it and just can’t. I like the PT (and Pilar) but can’t wrap my head around the looks of this one. Plus, what the heck does busking have to do with fancy pocketknives?

Here’s a real Busker (well...used to be anyway)
 
My guess would be that Olamic means the knife is smaller and can be used in public without negative attention. Since Busker is performing in public places.
