The CQB2 is a relatively small knife. When you get it in hand, you're going to think it is a small knife. Compared to the CQB1, it is. I really like the CQB1 and, at first didn't like the CQB2. The CQB2 has grown on me now that I have played with it a few days. I may have to pull one out for myself to play with beyond handling it and carrying it in the building.
I may be a bit biased though, as I have recently fallen in love with fixed blades in the 4 inch range that carry with little buik.
Stay Sharp,
Sid
