Yes it does, great description. Thank you.I can only answer this from my perspective, as ergonomics and fit are a very individualized thing. For reference I wear Large gloves; I am 6'2, so I am above average size. When I put my thumb in the dished out area beneath the bolster, the opposite side swell fits nicely in between my pointer and middle finger. The swell that is near my palm creates a nice ramp for my thumb to rest on. If I have a pinch grip near the top of the micarta, its a similar situation where the swells find a nice place to rest. I don't choke way up on slip joints, but that might not be the best grip position as it places the swells more in contact with my hand. I will say this, and again I can only speak for myself. When I grab a knife, or anything meant to be gripped for that matter, my brain and hand work together to find the comfortable resting spot without giving it much thought. And this knife, at least in my opinion, can be comfortably gripped. I hope that helps!
- yup, nice idea...........a hidden one would go well indeedLovely stuff there, one thing that would make it nicer, for me at least, is a hidden lanyard pin, that way you don't interrupt the lines of the scales or bolsters with a large hole, but at the end of the spine have a recess there with a pin that allows those that prefer a lanyard to be able to install one.

Thanks for the feedback Gary. Do you have a picture of something like that, which I can see to get a better understanding of what you are suggesting?Lovely stuff there, one thing that would make it nicer, for me at least, is a hidden lanyard pin, that way you don't interrupt the lines of the scales or bolsters with a large hole, but at the end of the spine have a recess there with a pin that allows those that prefer a lanyard to be able to install one.

Interesting indeed. I see what you guys mean. I will give it some thought.
- don’t think you can accommodate everything people request...! These things will come, will develop....... being 110% with your base models is probably your first post.Interesting indeed. I see what you guys mean. I will give it some thought.
Indeed, sometimes my brain feels like the boat ride in the Willy Wonka movie... There's no earthly way of knowing, Which direction we are going, There's no knowing where we're rowing, Or which way the river's flowing, Is it raining, is it snowing, Is a hurricane a-blowing...- don’t think you can accommodate everything people request...! These things will come, will develop....... being 110% with your base models is probably your first post.
I know you’re fizzing with ideas too - so discrete lanyard attachments and my versions in Amber Stag will come eventually![]()
Thanks Gary! Its me, with my iphone XS, in my backyard. The key is the early morning sunlight, right before she comes over the horizon. Which means I get up increasingly earlier as the year moves along, these are taken around 5:30am currently.Oh, wait a minute, DAT’S da one
