Super Karambit question

[skippyW]

I have what I would call average adult male sized hands. The width of my palm is about 3-3/4" and the lenght of my index finger is about 3-1/4". The grip on my Combat Karambit is absolutely perfect; my fingertips land right on the circular cutouts in the G-10. I like the blade on the Super Karambit but have never had the opportunity to handle one. Is it likely that I will find the grip on the Super less than perfect?

Hope someone who owns or has handled both can give me a clue. Thanks.

PS Anyone know of a online retailer of these who does not have a re-stocking charge?

I have smaller hands than you do (palms are wider, but fingers shorter), and I favor the Super-Kbit. The Combat Kbit was comfortable enough, but in reverse grip with my index finger in the ring, it felt more cramped than the Super. I hold the ring in between the first and second knuckles of my index finger when using reverse grip, and it brings the outer edge of my palm close to the blade. I doubt I'd get bitten regardless, but I felt more comfortable with the larger of the two. With my pinky in the ring using a saber grip, both were fine.

I had the same problem with my index finger in the ring. I rounded the edges of the G-10 ring hole with fine grit sandpaper; I was amazed at the improvement.
