I was messing with my collection when I noticed some of the tactical looking ones just seemed to be a similar overall length, but then again how different they were. Different shapes, grinds, steels and materials make for a set of knives that are similar in some ways and way distinct in others. The knives are shot in scale to one another as they really are.

Here is the same set of knives with handles aligned right about where the index finger would be. Now they all look different yet again. No wonder when getting new knives from pictures and specs, you are sometimes surprised at the result when you open the box and start handling the knife.

Thanks. The Dozier is sporting milled finger slots which I did in my shop - used a half round ball end mill in a drill press. Then, a little bit of sanding.
