Does anybody have experience with this knife?

What do you think of the blade length?

What is the handle like?

How is the balance?

What do you like better?

Thanks,

I haven't abused mine much but the handle seems small and thin in relation to the knife. My hands are not large and it does not fill your hand. The blade is wickedly different and punches through things like a chisel. The grind will make a large wound channel for sure. The blade is thick and does not look like it will fail easily.
 
I am sending mine back to be reprofiled at MOD due to the fact that it doesn't sharpen very well at 40 degrees. It is sharp enough for chopping, but that is about it. The serrations are useless, but they look cool. I like the overall design but wish they made the edges a bit sharper. The knife is made for stabbing not cutting, but I want to make mine usefull both ways.
 
I agree with USAFSP. It is definitely a stabber. However I'm cool with that since I've been using my spyderco for fine cutting tasks.

The handle does also feel kinda like a fork, not really filling up my mitts. I actually like the thin handle design though.
