I know this knife's handle is small (as it really is an EDC knife) but is it uncomfortably small?

No. I carried a full-sized 551 for a long time. It felt great in the hand, but too big in the pocket. The mini (556) is small, but it can really handle a large job. I've switched to carrying the 556 every day. Great knife.

Nope, not at all. I have about average hands, wear a Large glove, and it's a good fit if you hold it regular or even upside down.

I don't think so at all. I actually came back and bought another one for my dad.

No, I do not find the handle uncomfortably small.The handle is 3 7/8inches long. I can wrap all four fingers around the it, and I have medium size hands (male). But comfort really depends on how you expect to use it. For general daily use in a non-survival type environment it is a good size for me. I open boxes, cut rope or string, clean fingernails, test steaks for doneness, etc. I would much prefer my full size Griptilon for serious field work, skinning, or as a fighting knife, although this one would certainly be better than none.

I don't find the handle small. I have small hands to begin with. I think it's sized correctly for its purpose as EDC knife.

It's not uncomfortable but, depending on your hand size, it may not fit you well. I have large hands and it was a poor fit for me. I like smaller slipjoint knives but a knife of this type really performs best with a handle that allows variations to gripping to maximize cutting action. The Mini-Grip handle size didn't work for me although the blade length was just about perfect.

Well... I consider myself to have average sized hands. The handle is just the right size in my opinion. There's just enough handle there for a solid grip and the jimping is a huge plus. So to answer your question... It's not uncomfortable for me at all. It's a great EDC.

See I hold it with my thumb and my index finger and have the ring in my palm, so as a "Knife" the handle is kinda small though not unreasonable, but for a throwing knife I find it just fine. It really depends how your gonna be using them.

Probably not, it may stretch to it because the sides are elastic. But it's for a smaller knife.

It's the width and weight of the knife that is different from other models normally carried. With the knife on its side in your pocket, it's a couple of inches "high", so you don't want to have a lot of other "stuff" in there with it, such as a cell phone. I daily carry the smaller version of this knife in regular cotton pants or jeans + my wallet in left front pocket with no problems. This model is just a little heavy for me to daily carry in a pocket, that's why I got the belt holster for it. I carry this knife on special occasions when I think I might need the extra tools this knife has. It CAN be carried in a normal size pocket, but I wouldn't count on carrying a lot more in the same pocket. If you're concerned about "lumps" or wear super tight fitting pants, you will have a big lump with this knife. I gladly put up with the lump and weight in my pocket, though, for the tools and utility this knife provides.

This one might be a bit obtrusive in the pocket all day if you are looking for a small-ish knife. I held a Kershaw assisted open the other day, it was a nice smaller size and it really snapped open with one hand, where this one takes a bit of wrist action to operate.

No, I don't. It's a gorgeous, very elegant steak knife for dinners, but too light and delicate to be a satisfactory EDC knife (I carry mostly a Great Eastern 4 blade stockman with punch, or a Case Camp knife, or a Leatherman Wave + a Bark River City Knife).

It is a really grippy handle even when wet, I have never had it happen, I wouldn't worry about it. Super comfortable ergonomical and grippy ruberized handle. Most comfortable and sharpest knife I have ever owned.

Yes it is. It's a deep carry pocket clip and has a rather thin clip too which allows really only a bit of the window breaker to show but it's very hard to see and the thin clip makes it look more like a pen. I have the knife on me every day as my edc "every day carry" blade and no one has asked about it.

I like mine. I don't love it, it can be difficult to use at times with different size knives. It gets the job done though, mainly about preference or whichever you would be most comfortable with.

No, the knife is more novelty than anything. That being said, it is quite sharp out the box and can definitely come in handy if needed. Comes with a hard sheath and seems to be holster friendly if you wanted to keep it attached to a backup pistol while hunting. Handle is short since it fits in front of the trigger gaurd but not terribly uncomfortable.

I would say it is... I am right handed and the shape of the handle is such that if you hold it in your hand by the handle, the left side of the handle is round, while the right side of the handle kind of protrudes out very slightly to fit into the space where your knuckles bend. Its a very very comfortable knife to use.

the blade is less than 2 inches, 5 cm long. My swiss knife has a 6 cm. blade, it is not a dagger but anything can become a lethal weapon.

It is a great knife...fits in my pocket so well I forget it's there. Sharp blade that needed 2 minutes of honing to get a razor edge. Any knife can be used for self defence. The only thing this is it opens like a normal knife.. I don't see this as any different from any other knife in opening..in fact I have other knives that are easier to open. But all in all a great EDC knife

I have the tanto blade and the double edge blade both are very well balance and for someone with small hands it's fits mine very well the handle is not quits as bulky as it appears so if in a knife fight or combat I believe it would actually give that person an edge to the opponent as it will protect the hand more and let's be honest metal hurts worse than a hand. Great knife I love it

I haven't used it much, but I don't foresee a problem with it. I did make a lanyard for it to make it safer to use. Nice knife for the price

Yes I find it hard to open as I have small hands ( 5.5" from base of palm to middle finger). If I use one hand to open comfortably the widest gap between the tip of the blades is &lt;1", so to make it functional I have to stretch my 4 fingers and the thumb to pry open up the handle.

That's a good Question. From the looks of it, probably not. I still like it and it has a high "wow" factor. It would be the one knife I would want it I had one to choose.
