Tiny! This is a "little gem" of a knife, but the emphasis is on "little." Great materials and blade design, but truth be told I'd like the handle a little longer so I could get four fingers on it. I gave it to my soldier son-in-law, since he can always use a backup knife to tuck away in his gear.
Just picked this one up to join my 533BK-1 Mini Bugout. Such an ergonomic feel in the hand. For reference, I have skinny fingers but wear M/L size gloves. Easily three fingers on the handle, thumb on the spine. Can’t wait to put this sucker to use in the mountains or even opening up Amazon packages.
I had my eye on an Osborne mini but this one is just 2nd type of cool.
