Are you sure it's big enough?

Hello Planterz,
To be honest with you it really is bigger than I thought it would be. This knife is massive. If the knife was simply a large swing guard it would be big, but not massive. It's like the knife is on steroids.
Thank you, Planterz, for your interest in my knife and for taking the time to write,
John
