I just bought a CRKT large Pointguard which has some major holes and slots drilled/molded into the liner and handle. Ok, I know one of the advantages of this feature is less weight. But how much weight are we really saving by removing some Zytel? An eighth of an ounce?
I think I remember hearing somewhere that holes/slots make it easier to keep a knife clean. I assume the idea is you can blow or wash out debris thru the holes. But, doesn't that also make it easier for that debris to get into the knife in the first place?
Are there any other advantages/disadvantages tha I missed? What school of design do you prefer?
