Rich:

As a small edc I can live with the size of the knife. To me an edc will mean something different than the next person. MY edc uses will be cutting thread, string, rope, paper and cardboard. Cutting food items and opening up packages. The "Office" type stuff I guess you could say. But rest assured I still carry my Kbit and Umnumzaan for larger tasks and emergencies. But my every day use it for most everything will be Most of the time now the RAT II, at least for a while.

Do I wish it had a bit longer handle, yup sure do. But it isn't to small for my NORMAL every day uses.

I hope this helps.
