Ted,
The knife on the left is the Green Beret 5.5" and it does have the serrations but the other one is the Neil Roberts which does not come with serrations I guess that the serrations did not show up very well on the GB but they are there.
I have the GB 7" also and it is a bit on the long side to carry but the 5.5" one and the Neil Roberts both carry very nicely.
If the NR is too big for you, then what are you replaceing it with?
Ciao

Ron, I noticed the serrations on the bigger picture.
The handle of the NR was too big for me. When I grabbed it, my middle finger was always on the ... well, uh, how do you call that part sticking out on the bottom side of the handle between the fore & middlefinger?
Anyway, beautifull knife, was everything I wanted it too be (stainless S30V, plain edge, recurve, relatively soft hardenend, canvas micarta handles, CRK quality) Too bad for the grip.

Sweet leather sheaths for your Warrior and GB, they look really good and I prefer them to the standard ones that come with.

Ted,
That's too bad it does not fit you. It's a great knife. That part sticking out is just the seperation between the main part of the handle and the single finger groove. I have small hands and it fit me JUST RIGHT! My first finger just falls right in that groove and my thumb goes right to the pressure points on the back of the handle.
Better luck finding a knife that will fit you but you will have to look far and wide in order to find the same quality as the Chris Reeve knives.
If you are patient then you can order a Randall and wait 4yrs. + 4 months for delivery or find one of us who already have some Randalls and pay a premium price for one.

Yeah, I really like the sheaths better then the as issued ones. One of the nice things about ordering them from CRK is that the sheaths have the CRK logo on them too.
You can get one for the 7" GB, the 5.5" GB, and the Neil Roberts. Just give Anne or one of the gals at CRK and they will get on right out to you.
