I like it better than the skellies some folks like. I think my hand might actually fit that handle. I would prefer a 4" blade, but 3.5" is close enough. And 154CM is a fine steel for a small knife, IMO.
I generally prefer a 4.0" blade over a 3.5" blade.
But, I have tons of great 4.0" blades and I do find a good 3.5" blade to be very nice and quite handy at times.
This design looks like a winner to me. I don't want to rule out skellies forever. Someday maybe I might find one I can live with. But, so far, none have done it for me and I have sold all I have tried.
154CM should be more than fine for this knife. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
I am pretty confident Jerry will have found a way to get more out of 154CM than almost anybody and most likely better than anybody else.
154CM was already a good steel for many smaller blades (IMO).
