They also make a small Vantage Pro with a 2.5in blade if you're interested in the Vantage. You probably knew that, but I'm just throwing that out there.
MUCH appreciated. I am really more of a small blade guy anyway so this really looks intriging. This is why I'm really interested in that CQC-14 Emerson. Small thick blade BUT...FULL sized handle. I may have to bite the bullet and shell out the bucks as I can't seem to find anything else quite like it
