Ahh! A handle made to fit the human hand. This knife is lighter than the Schrade, too. It came with a scary sharp full convex edge and it is a slicing machine. It notches, and chops better than the Schrade, and is comfortable to use. It batons about as well. Balance is on the first finger, so it is lively in the hand, much like the S6. It came with a nice leather sheath rather than the Cordura that the Schrade has. Of course, this knife costs 5 times as much.
