I'm mainly interested in getting the Small Classic. I'm just curious as to how the handle fits in the hand. Can you get a full four finger grip/ or does the fourth finger hang over like on a mini grip?

Thanks
Dave
 
I have medium sized hands (according to hatch gloves anyway)
I find that the pinky has half a hold on it so you are better off keeping the lanyard thing on there.

I have medium sized hands but with less chunky fingers than waldganger. I can get a full 4 finger grip with it.

That looks good enough for me:thumbup:. The fit looks like it will be similar to my HK 14210, which I'm pretty happy with:D Anyways thanks for the pics, looks like it's time to start shopping.

I can't get all four fingers comfortably on a small Sebenza at all. I have large size hands with slender fingers.
 
I can't get all my fingers fully on the handle of a small Seb, either, that's why the lanyard is very useful. BTW, yes, it is similar to the B/M HK 14210. It's not the same knife, of course, but size-wise they are very close.

Looks like you're getting ready to play mumbly peg with your foot! LOL

I can't comment since my only Seb is a Lg Classic. But it fits quite well.

Ok, well, I find that I have beefy hands but not large, I wear large gloved for confort, but I have medium to large size hands with shorter chubbier fingers, lol...Anyway...I measured my hands both from wrist to the tip of my middle finger and from thumb to pinky...Here are soem pictures for comparison...I too fidn that my pinky gets a half grip on the small classic...but its comnfortable in the hand anyway...I fidn that I sometiems lower my grip when usign the knife so that my pinky is gripping the lanyard itself, not the handle...

The small regular will allow a bit more of a grip. The handle choil is set a little in front of the pivot, rather than right at the pivot as with the classic.

I do not have large hands, and I can get all 4 fingers on the handle without any problems.
 
If the Regular Sebe allows for a sightly larger grip that will be my primary target. I'm going to watch the used market first, so I'll take either the small regular or Classic, I don't think I'll be disappointed with either;)
