Try taking a pic holding it in your hand...better way to see size

I think it looks really good, but to me it is more a mid-sized knife.

Thanks for the kind comments everyone. I'll try the hand trick next time with the photo. Your right Keith, it probably is more of a midsize knife. AOL length is around 11 inches.
