No women’s fixed blades.

[toker]

For a factory knife, the Benchmade Hidden Canyon Hunter is a small fixed blade.

Does she have trouble with kitchen knives?

Yep she cooks. but, even though we just use them for slicing she doesn’t like any kitchen knives we have either.
Neither do I so always use use whatever I’m edc’ing no matter what size stuff I’m cutting.
Got some decent kitchen knives coming though.

Hands come in a range of sizes I don’t know why we have to single out women for their supposedly tiny hands.

Because no man wants to admit they have girly-hands.

I was thinking of the Casstrom mini hunter.

 

[FullMetalJackass]

She is very happy with her benchmade Mini SOCP

Appreciate all your research steel research.
Seems it does point to a potential area for a good niche business opportunity for someone capable.
I consider my wife’s hands small yet they’re twice the size of one of the adult daughters hands.
It bothers the daughter cause she has to buy children's gloves, shoes etc.

Just a quick thought, the AG Russell Woodswalker, or the Hunter’s Scalpel.

Plenty of good knives out there. Micarta scales may be more comfortable on the Izzy though.

Can't believe no one's made the joke yet. Bladeforums is a well behaved crowd.

SMATCHET!

LT Wright's Frontier First model is nice, it's 5.5" overall with a 2.25" blade. I've got one in 3v with the python micarta handles and it's pretty sweet. You may want to give one a try, good luck on your hunt.

There are Plenty of knives out there to accommodate any size hand.

Shorter handle preferably. About a 3in handle designed for small hands.

I busted out the ruler, and the handle on the Necker is 3.25". You can get one with a variety of handles for under $50. Might be worth a try. If she doesn't like it, throw it in the paring knife drawer.

 

[bayouace]

Arno Bernard knives will have a size for her.

Larrin, women tend to have small hands. Men tend to have small brains.

 

[Billy The Hungry]

Ontario knives.

 

[Bob Denman]

What about Schrade's Sharpfinger?

Have you looked at nancyknives.com?

Something I just realized looking for a knife for my wife.
Probably too limited of a niche market, what’s missing in the knife world is a fixed blade knife designed for women with small hands to edc.
I’ve got a Bradford G3 fits well in 3 finger grip.
It’s a completely full grip for my wife, and since the pinkie bone rests on the end of the handle prevents secure closure of the 2 middle fingers.
G3.5 too much handle length.
Benchmade Nimravus doesn’t fit plus too much handle length. I could keep mentioning different knives that don’t work.
Those that do have right handle circumference handle is too long for comfortable carry as they are made for a man’s wider hand.

One can find a few with a 3 inch blade but handles usually too long and they’re hard to find in a kephart or spear point type similar to the Bradford blade style.

Try the benchmade altitude, I don't know you're budget but it is a nice small knife.
