I've read that the DM has a really small handle, and was wondering if it will fit me. I have really no doubt it will, but just want some experts to chime in with advice! Heres a in hand pic of my Pumpkin Warden for reference.

Well I guess I havent figured out pics yet! :P

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="" />

well, the DMDC, or DMLE has bigger handles than the CG and arn't that bad...

but I here the CG handles are just tiny!!!!

you just have to post the IMG code for pics...
I think.

Ok, how about this..

im going out on limb & say with those paws...the handles will be too small

If you have big paws but fancy a knife along the lines of a DM then I'd say get a Swamprat Ratmandu....IMO one of the best knife handles period !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

LOL, big paws they are not, thats a 4" handle on that knife. For better clarification, I wear a size 7 wedding ring.

omg.

ive owned several game wardens & the handles have always fit my hand.
i wear a 9.5 wedding ring & dont think my hands look nearly as large as yours

example

bark river bravo-1


mikro slither in hand

you could wrap the handles too, like pit did, to make them fill your hand better.

and the ratrmandu is nice (so I here) but not as "bombproof" as the DM...
they really aren't anything alike, honestly.
the mandu is probably more "useful" for woods type s tuff... but the DM is in a class of it's own.

Yeah the Bravo was huge in my hand,(long) but really thin. However I am used to Rangers, so that was to be expected I guess! The DM is cool and I was thinking of a CG since it is SO thick, it would just be fun <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
