The mudders feel great in my hand. The standard Res like on a mutt feels small. I actually prefer the smaller SY knives like the BDLE- MPLE-SS4 -Muk etc. Don't get me wrong- I LOVE all the Bussekin steel- just the mudders are something I use daily. The S 5s are absolutely awesome IMO. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
