Yeah, it was my grail because I love the stamped R.Hinderer on the blade. But the reality was that it's just a little too large for my EDC needs. Too big for my jeans pocket, digs into my leg while I'm sitting.While I loved holding it, having it by me at my desk to open boxes etc., I also felt self-conscious using it in public. Before I bought the Gen1 I had always said that the 3" was my perfect EDC. Well, I was right the first time! So I'm going back to a 3" which should arrive tomorrow!
. When I decide something isn't working for me I don't force it, I fix it. Also why not let someone who really loves the 3.5" enjoy it? I traded it to Lone_Wolfe for a couple of nice knives.

Have you gone insane?
This is your grail?
That was short lived.
I like to look at the bright side. Lone-Wolfe get's to appreciate this knife for what it's worth. It's not going to sit next to my computer just being admired. Again, I'm not a collector... Here are my new XMs...just arrived today. Thanks LW!
