It is the smallest handle of the 5" BusseKin I have but is just at the limit of comfortable. Another 1/8" shorter and it would be a 3-1/2 finger handle instead of a full grip. I wear a size Large or XL glove depending on brand. It is the longest blade of the 5's too. Great balance exactly in the center of the choil.

All five of mine came paper push-cutting sharp thanks to Denny. Will not pop hairs though. Will hit them with a leather belt on the HF-1x30 for the last little bit of edge potential.

Thanks! Yeah well, I was grinding off that spine hump, always bothered me, and thought "How about a radiused spine". And then Zero convex popped in there as a good idea. Tougher to do than I thought but I like it better now.
