I like beefier handles and find the DM handle on the small side for my hands. The DM handle is thin, not short like the GW.

That being said, it is still a fantastic knife and you won't know how it fits you until you pick one up. Worst case you decide you don't like it and can resell it for what you have in it + or - a few bucks. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
