Small Hands and the Military

[minnesotashooter]

I have small hands and am thinking about a military. Anybody got any opinions??? I love my mini Manix- fits perfect, I am just wondering if the Para would be a better fit.

I have small-to-medium hands and own both a Military and a Para. My opinion/evaluation is that the Milly is just a little big for me. The handle can move forward and back a bit when gripping it between the forward and rear swells.

The Para is a perfect fit:thumbup: , my hand fills the handle completely and is secure and comfortable.


Don't get me wrong, I love the Milly, but its just one large knife

Good Luck!

I have small hands, I have the Military and the Para.
The Para is best for me, thin, light, thick, tough blade. I rarely even take out the Military, I just don't need a 4" blade.

I second the Para. :thumbup: Also it is a very light carry. You won't even notice it's in your pocket.

I've got smallish hands and like the Military handle.

I prefer a longer handle as it allows more grip options.

In regard to the Military, I often find I use the rear swell as the place my pinky grips. No sliding forward issues.

Same- milli's handle is far too long for my hand. The para is much more comfortable.

I also find the millies blade a bit too long for me.

Love the overall knife design tho.
