Thanks Zenghost!
The handle is definately comfortable. Even on such a small knife(3 1/8" blade 6 7/8" overall length) with the thin scales it seems to sit in the hand just right.
I like the design so much, I made a sheath knife version of it with just a little longer blade(3 3/4") and slightly thicker Olive wood scales for myself. It's proving to be the perfect small hip knife. It doesn't draw a lot of concerned looks from the more timid citizenry and is still large enough to handle most everyday cutting chores.
Thanks again!
All the best,
Mike U.
