I like wide as long as the blades don't protrude as much as they do on the Case. Given the options up there, I'll vote narrow.

Narrow. Case made some of those too.

That's a really decent knife. Too bad CASE doesn't seem interested in returning to these vanished patterns or that quality of Redbone....

ED I've got a few RR myself and find them very tidy, well finished and credible particularly their RR 406 Stockman that Jeff put me on to.

Thanks, Will

As our friend Goldilocks has said, not too big not too small but juuuust right. Middle for me.
 
think the middle would be nice. im not a big handed guy (stubby if you will) so normally dont go for anything to big, but i dont like smaller knives because feel cant get all the jobs done. the mid size not to chunky in the hands while still having the right sized blades for big and small tasks.
 
I had to vote wide, as the two Sowbellies that I own, the Case is more filling in hand for my meathooks...

the S&M is a trapper, but looks to be a close fit for your in between criteria.
It is comfy enough in hand, but the Case feels better...very subjective stuff...

I doubt narrow would get much play time from me...
 
I voted narrow because I prefer my day to day pocket knife as light and skinny as possible..But,I have been contemplating a larger stockman for my camping/kayaking trips..I think the larger blades and handle would be better with food prep and general camp duties..Hopefully this summer cleaning some fresh fish will be one..
