Does this bug you too?

There are several very cool knives out there that come in two sizes, but on some of them the difference in size between the two is tremendous (IMO). The large one is too big for EDC and the small one is too small for my hands.
Here are some that IMO fit this description.
Spyderco Endura
BM 710/705
CRKT Titanium framelock
SOG Jet Edge​

I've noticed the same thing. Then there are those that are almost, but not quite what you want. I have a prefered sized range that I have kept coming back to for years. The only problem is there are very few knives in that range that have the design features, fit, and finish that I demand. Even knives that are sized right fall short in one way or another most of the time.

i noticed that very thing the other day when i was taking a look @ Benchmade's Ambush and Mini Ambush!

i luvd the feel of the Ambush, but it's too large for legal EDC here, and the Mini Ambush seems a touch too dinky and not quite as well-made as the older sibling.. altho i think i could live with the slightly smaller blade, as i'm 5'8"..

i also think i've observed it on a few other duos.. everything should come in 3 sizes like Corkum's First-Strike models he did for CRKT!
