Handle question - RC-3 and RC-4

[Fred Sanford]

Do the RC-3 and RC-4 have the same size handle?

I ask because the handle seems about 1/2" too short on the RC-3 for me.

Thanks.

They have the same size handle as far as length goes, but the RC-4 is thicker due to the difference in the blade thickness between the RC-3 (1/8") and the RC-4 (3/16").

If you want to get a feel for what the RC-4 is like with your RC-3, try gutting some paracord and wrapping the handle. That will give you close to the same thickness of handle.

Same handles, different feel due to the blade thickness differences.

Thanks folks!
