I have a E10-3 I've hung on to and don't use much, seems a bit too long for a Gents knife???
Thinking of trading for a E6.

The question is the E6 too small and short???:confused:

Problems!
 
This is more of a personal preference. I don't own either, but from specs alone I'd know that I would find the E6 too small for myself. I'm more comfortable with 3.25" and above blades.

For a gentlemans knife, I'd carry a nice slipjoint instead of the E6/10. I hate this word, but the WH is more "tactical" looking, IMO.
 
I loved the size of the E10 when I had one. I thought it was perfect. So if it's too big for you, the E6 sounds right up your alley.
 
It depends on what you are using it for. I use my E6 as a nice, small gent's folder for the office and church. I'm not sure I would want to use it for much more than that.
 
I don't think it's too small at all for a light use knife, but like BB, it doesn't strike me as a Gent's knife. I always think of a fine slip joint to fill that role.

One handed opening, locking blades and pocket clips are for urgency. A gentleman shouldn't be in such a hurry.

Edit: My comment on size comes from handling one in a shop. I don't actually own one. Though I have owned and carried without issue plenty of similarly sized knives.
 
Thank you all.
Found a picture of the two together and yes, the E6 looks to be too small.
I'll just hang on to it or sell outright.

Thanks, I should look into a GEC perhaps?
