Hi guys. Recently I got my first Fiddleback, off of last week's Friday shark fest. Its a Sneaky Pete and a great looking knife. 
I've got large hands. I wear XL sized gloves. The Sneaky Pete feels nice in my hand (though perhaps it could be just a smidge thicker for me). Its a SFT, not tapered. I do like the way the handle has been contoured.
I did a search, but didn't find my exact question answered so thought I'd post it here. With my XL mitts, I wouldn't want a handle smaller than that on the Sneaky Pete in terms of width and length. Smaller handles don't work well for me. I would like a knife with a 3" blade for EDC use, however. As far as I can tell, the Bushcraft Karda seems to be closest to what I'm looking for in this type knife. How does the handle on the Bushcraft Karda and Sneaky Pete compare to one another ? Is there another Fiddleback knife with a larger handle in combination with a 3" blade ?
Thanks in advance for your comments & suggestions.
P.S. - side question please - What handle material offered by Fiddleback has the best grip - especially under wet conditions ? Thank you !
