I've used mine quite a bit and haven't experienced any irritation but I do have pretty small hands. Someone with larger mitts may have a problem.
 
I don't think any one said this yet.

this is the best thread ever. i have no temptation to get my amex to order anything i have seen here. the worse has to be the custom production knife post. the really sad thing is i have the number, exp date, and security memorized.

Hahaha. That's a great point!
 
I know this is blasphemy to say here, but I think in general Syderco knives are ugly as sin. The spidy hole throws off the lines and makes them just look wrong. Not saying they aren't nice knives, but they are FUGLY. Can't even stand to look at a Para II. Also, the new Cold Steel voyager series are bad. The old ones were okay, but the new ones are gross.

Again I sin against a lot of guys out there, but I don't like any of the curvy Kershaws and hate the look of all the Leek series knives.

Beauty is subjective... to a point

I don't think the PM2 is ugly at ALL. Will, I REALLYYYYY like that red digi-cam Para. Looks great! Did you just use Rit dye for that?

One of the best looking knives out there IMO. Thanks for the kind words brother, It's always nice to have your work appreciated:thumbup: It looks even better in person. I used Scarlet RIT dye for both the Para and the Tenny but I like the para more (Who wouldn't?).
 
I like the color on both of them but the digi cam pattern makes it way cooler. I have some boxes of Rit I've been meaning to try. For the Tenacious, did you remove the black color first?

I actually agree with this to a certain extent.They certainly have an "alien" look about them. I think many of the newer models are really nice looking, though.

The one knife (aside from possibly the Chicago) that I think flows well is the Manix 2. Looks fantastic both opened and closed.

lets see, 'ugly folder' brings to mind many of the offerings by Hinderer, SOG, Cold Steel, ZT, Kershaw......................... heck most of the uber tactical blades are damn ugly.

IMO, The XM-18/24 are some of the best looking "tactical" knives. I don't think they look uber tactical at all. And if you ever get your hands on one, you WILL fall in love with it. :D

The tenacious was actually one of the green sprint runs. I'm not sure if black would take red very well but would be very interested in seeing how it came out. You should try to dye your Hinderer;)

Every time I try to carry another knife, my XM always ends up back in my pocket. The ergo's are excellent in every grip position. The smoothness is also amazing.

I actually just made an orange/black scale for my XM and I have a brown Hinderer scale on order. I may try it on the black scale.
