Horn dog, I agree, I just got my solution and I agree it is comfortable. My only issue is a slight hot spot on the pommel cut out for the lanyard. One of those points digs into the palm of my hand. But a little sanding should make it ok.
On the picture of the three spine shot one is the solution, one is the Esee, what is the third?
Thanks and great score! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
The other thick one is the HEST. I have the folding version, too. But this Rodent is really nice. I plan on doing a comparison with the ESEE-3 and HEST fixed blade soon.
