Yea the B1 handle feels great it's quite a hefty knife. It's very sharp out of the box as well. I need to get a better edge on both the SY knives, the mudder grips are great the MPLE feels really solid one with the hand. The YK is a wonderful sized knife; I just wish it had mudder grips. The handle is a bit small- but the knife feels great and well as we all know it's relatively bomb poof
