First - this knife fits my hand PERFECTLY! The handle size and design is incomparable. The knife feels like an extension of me!
Heh Heh, you must be..."Carnie Folk....Small Hands". Don't know if you smell like cabbage though. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
CONGRATS Arch!!! The YKLE is one of my favorites too! I polished the DOGsnot out of mine and norcalblacktail convexed the edge for me when he had the rest of my knives. I have XL hands and the YK handle is just small enough that I prefer the SOD handle size better. I'm hoping the Ratmandu's I have coming are just a little longer in the pinky department. With that said, I'm still plannning on carrying my YKLE with me on duty, so to answer another forum topic, once I get my kydex for it, it will most likely be my most often carried Bussekin EDC knife!!! Based on your pics of guns and knives, we definately could be twin brothers that were separated at birth!!! VERY similar tastes in gear!
Hope ya don't mind me posting these. Here are some crappy pics of mine that I didn't post earlier, because they don't do Nate's work justice (I'll try and get some better one's taken soon)...
