next "Little Big Knife"...

I have an Ace Riv. It’s extremely well constructed and a good looking knife. I can get a four finger grip on it and I have XL hands but skinny fingers. The grip is very comparable to that on the Spyderco Dragonfly.

I'm confident that what I want can be found mass market or TRM which is small batch midtech without the need to go custom.

You make it sound like going custom is bad thing.

You obviously have very specific requirements, so the suggestion to find a knife made exactly how you want it makes a lot of sense.

I didn't say custom was bad. I'm not doing it. I'm going to gather information about the seven knives I named in my initial post and then buy one or more of them. Thank you.

Well then, it sounds like we've come full circle to what was already suggested - pick one (or all) and let us know how it works out.

A custom would allow you to get exactly what you want, how you want it to look, and how you want it to fit your hand.

You've already disregarded a number of good suggestions, and the limited information you have received about your specific knives certainly would not warrant me buying one, based on the small sample size of endorsements you are likely to receive. These knives aren't exactly mainstream.

I can understand about wanting any specific knowledge of use or experiencing of the knives you suggested, they are what your interested in, but looks like the answers are few, so maybe increase your net just a little and you will catch more fish. Maybe look at ones similar to the ones you mentioned, but maybe slightly different. Just my two cents, hope you get the info you’re looking for, but don’t limit yourself and miss out on some good suggestions. Best of luck in your search.

The suggestions I disregarded weren't good, in my opinion, and that's the opinion that counts because it's my money. Fortunately for me there are numerous You Tube reviews of my seven finalists.
Thanks to LarryG,flash900 and Bunker Hill Blades who were nice and respectful enough to provide me with the information I requested.

Thank you. I'm off to You Tube.

The Riv is a nice piece if you prefer a flipper in this size range.
It is less easy to open manually.

The Olamic Buskers are a fine choice at the high end of your options.

At the other end, you may want to check out the Baby Banter.

The TRM Holy Nerd is one of my favorite folders of any size.
I have .....well, a bunch, in Micarta, G-10 and Ti.
They are more available now. Get on the TRM list and you should be able to find one without too much trouble.

Can you get a full grip on the Nerd, or only choking up?
 
I love my bestec engine...With that being said, I also love my ZT 0022 and Spyderco McBee. Good luck !
 
I have a Nerd and unless you have pretty small hands, you're not getting much of a fourth finger on it.
 
Anza 2BU-BK-Random. A sturdy work knife with 2/1/2” blade and 4” handle. My pics aren’t posting, but search on the name. At least a couple of his dealers list them, but you may have to ask Charlie to make one up for you.
