....of a Rukus and a Contego. Reason is that I'm close to pulling the trigger on a Contego but am slightly hesitant because it may be too big. It will be a work knife and I work in construction so I'm not worried about the "sheeple" factor, but long ago I bought a Rukus and never carried it because it was just a little too big and long. Photos of these two knives next to each other would really help me decide. Or, photos of a Contego and a Rift side by side would be great too as the Rift is my second choice. Thanks in advance guys, much appreciated. I'll leave ya with a little knife porn...

Neuron, you are awesome. Thanks!

Seems like the 810 would be more manageable in the pocket than the Rukus. Better blade to handle ratio too eh?
 
The Rukus is bigger than the Contego by a small bit. As for the Contego and Rift, the Contego is a good bit bigger, but surprisingly carries quite well.
 
The Contego is definitely a large knife, but carries very well for it's size. I actually feel it carries easier than my presidio. Not sure why.
 
The jimping on mine is actually quite smooth, and have had no issues with it. The G10 handles on the other hand, are extremely rough.
 
Is the Rift's G10 as rough as the Contego's? I thought the sharp corners the Rift would need sanded but after I got the knife I found them to be perfect.
