One thing I don't like that a lot of manufacturers do is that they shorten the handle length when they shorten the blade length
On a 3" hunting or camp knife I love a full sized handle, I don't give a rat's behind about a "balanced look", I want a secure comfortable grip
I agree wholeheartedly. I have fairly large hands and using a short-bladed knife with the currently correct "blade to handle ratio" does not work for me.
