This is interesting to me. Not clear if I consider it a negative or not...but I'm intrigued. The design would lead one to believe that the choil is usable for choking up on the blade, upon first glance. However, it must just be an oversized sharpening choil...I guess? My finger doesn't fit and I have medium sized hands. My wife's finger fits, but not comfortably enough to suggest you wouldn't cut yourself if not careful.

Thanks for sharing your pics / comments! It helped me get through the day <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
