Is a small too small...

for my fairly large hands? I have fairly large (not huge) hands and like the size of the Regular Sebenza. I have a Regular and was looking for something a little smaller for when I'm not wearing jeans or thick slacks. Does anyone with large hands carry the Small and have any problems with it being too small?
 
No! I just got a small, and I am 6 foot with pretty big hands. and altough it doesnt fill the whole hand, it is very comfortable to hold!

not too small at all!
 
I have a small and find it too small. I am 6'1 and wear an xl glove. At first it felt great, but after 5 weeks of use it is going to a new home. The Large is MUCH more comfortable and fits very well.
 
Guys, thanks for the input, maybe I'll find someone who has one and give it a try, thanks again.
 
I have small/average sized hands and found the large to fit perfectly. I chose it over the small for my first Sebbie. Mind you, I still want the small -- since I am now totally smitten by these fine knives. Another plus for the small is that it is a "normal" sized pocket knife. The large is, well, rather large and can be a bit intimidating to the un-initiated (sheeple). Also, for what it's worth, the large fits in both the back pocket of my jeans and my suit pants without a problem.
 
I think the large will fit better myself, but the small is more ideal for edc. although I have never held a large.

You could add a choil to the small, it makes it a lot more comfortable and easy for more delicate work.
 
I have very large hands/fingers as well (XL gloves are tight usually) and I have no problem with the smalls. I have a small micarta and small regular and they work for me very nicely. I also have a large regular that I love, but its too big for me for everyday.

The small is too small for me. I just can't use a knife if all my fingers don't fit on the handle. The large, however, is perfection.
 
I have both and the small gets a lot more carry. The large is just too conspicuous if I have to actually cut something.
 
I have large hands and fingers and edc a small african blackwood. No problems for me. Actually I think it is a great size. I would like to get a plain large but for now my small is holding up to everything that I need it t do. I actually think that it is a beter size for detail work as i can comfortably have the handle in my palm and index finger all the way to the tip for control.
 
I wear and use both large and small, it all depends on what clothes I am wearing that day and where I am going.

"it's like Black and Brown shoes, which looks better with the outfit":D

Both are OK, the large fits my hand better (big hands). You have to try them out to be sure.
 
I haven't handled the large but my small Sebenza fits in my size 2xl-3xl hand just fine. I have no complaints with the size.
 
This may be a stupid question: I have seen sebenza smaller than the "small" ones, are they "mini" sebenza? And, any X-Large sebenza exist in the world?

Thanks, :)
 
I have both large and small sebenzas. I am a pretty big guy with large hands. I think the is the perfect size for EDC. I carried a large for years, but after getting used to the small really prefer the small over the large for every day use.

I agree, i have fairly big hands, and the small is perfect for me. I have a small regular and a box elder inlay.
