Hand size for the BK16?

[Steve6387]

Never owned a Becker but I'm wanting the 16 as my first. Will be used as a general, all purpose camp and chore knife. But I've got some big paws. Not pro basketball player big, but I can't recall ever wearing anything other than Xl gloves. I know it's hard to answer but any thoughts on whether it's an issue?

Any thoughts appreciated.

I also wear XL gloves and sometime XXL and my BK16 fit my hand just fine.

The tweeners were too small for my hand, but I do have some big ol hands myself. 1066vik, however, I do believe has bigger hands than me, and it seems to work for him. Perhaps it's how I hold it, not sure. Here's the 16 in my hand:

i have to wear 2xl mechanix gloves if that gives any idea of my hand size and i find the bk16 fits pretty nicely

I wear XL gloves too and the BK16 feels great in my hand. Im more worried about chopping knives or those with bigger longer blade so control is more important. smaller one like the BK16 for its kinda task I'm not so worried.

I wear a medium glove and it fits me just fine too. Not sure that helps any.

Seem's Ethan did a pretty good job at getting a one size fits all if it's that comfortable for this many people.

if handle size is a real concern, perhaps a BK10 would be a better consideration?
