Was wondering if anyone could provide pics showing a Spyderco Wegner Jr. pictured with a Spyderco Ocelot for size comparisons?

Thanks!

Hi Joe, Sorry no pics but I can tell you that IMO, the Ocelot feels so much better in the hand, has a better lock (IMO :D), better (larger) opening hole (If memory serves me right) and is MUCH more heft. I LOVED the Ocelot, just never carried it much. At first I thought the paws were cool but I kinda got over them after time. Would love to have one with a flat grind if possible or logical along with with solid orange G10 scales. The Jr just never did it for me, nice knife but something about it, probably the liner lock or hole size/placement.
 
.....the Ocelot is the handiest size of the 3 in my opinion. However, if you're processing game the "paw prints" and the lock back construction don't provide you a convenient option to "flush out" the knife after gutting. Nonetheless, I consider the Ocelot to be a highly under-rated EDC. The ergos on the handle are great.....and the hollow ground blade cuts like a demon. It's construction is every bit as impressive as the Caly3.

How difficult is it to get a Tim Wegner and what should it cost me? I came across a Wegner Jr in a trade and its a GREAT little knife and I wouldn't mind having the BIG brother :)
