Warrior or Green Beret?

[Dave Costin]

I have fairly large hands and am wondering which might be better. I guess maybe I'm actually asking if the Warrior would work? The GB actually fits my hand very well. My problem is, I don't like serrations and was told some time ago that the GB was not available w/o them. Now I'm likeing the Warrior but have never been able to actually hold one. I'm thinking the handles are very similiar but being that it is a little different and I don't have room for error I'm asking for opinions from you gentlemen. Do you think the Warrior would fit a large hand as well or even better than a GB? I'm looking at getting the Warrior (if it will work for me) and putting it to work.

Thanks for any and all help.

My Warrior should get here soon.

My Uncle has much larger hands than me, and is also interested in getting one.

I'll post his opinion of the handle once he has handled my knife.

The handles on the Warrior are basically the same except for one less finger notch.

Both handles should work with fairly large mitts. Mine are medium large and ther e is room to spare on the handle. Bill Harsey (designer) has hands like baseball mitts and the knife fits him too. I am not into the serration scene and prefer a blade size of 6", so I am on the list for a Warrior.

I'll be anxious to hear from you who are getting them. My concern is the handle design. I felt they were going to be close but the top of the handle is a little different at the base of the knife so I didn't know if this allowed less room or maybe just shifts your hand forward a little. This sounds confusing to read it back. Not always good at expressing myself in words. Mainly, if you look at pictures of the two, the butt of the handle angles different ways and I was concerned it might feel too short in my palm.

If it feels in my hand like it looks it might, this might be a new all around user! Then I can stop my search for that perfect knife! Yeah right!!!
