i explained it pretty well. you should be able to see what I said and understand it. we are talking the copper one not the other ones. the other ones dont apply in a discussion about the copper one.Yeah, I don't get where you're coming from at all. They already have a 3.75" version, the Natrix XL, a 3.25" version, the Natrix, so I still don't see why anyone would complain that they also now offer a smaller version. The 2.75" Natrix copper doesn't stop the other versions from existing if you'd like a larger form factor . . .
Blade hq also has a g-10 Cryo in D2 steel for around $50, which I believe is 2.75” too. I’d take that over the natrix, but that’s just because I had a bad experience with my Natrix when they first came out.Honestly, I'm glad. The 3+" flipper market is super oversaturated, but the sub-3" market is pretty dry. 2.5-3" is even more dry. I'd imagine there will be a full size version in D2 if the mini sells. I'm also super happy to see another American company doing a steel higher than 8Cr at a reasonable price.
The copper is the entire issue. I'd have zero issue with a smaller one, but this is a special variant.Yeah, I don't get where you're coming from at all.

Because if they made one full sized or XL, everyone would complain about how heavy it was. Copper isn't light. A big knife with full copper scales is going to be an absolute chunk. On a smaller one that weight can give a feeling of density and quality, but a big one will feel unbalanced and awkward very quickly.
