    Comfortable, your whole hand can fit on the wood, or you can put your index finger in the hole which I would say would be more comfortable if you had a large hand. Its well balanced and a nice weight for chopping as well as cutting. The whole knife is only about 275mm (bit over 10 1/2 inches). The actual blade is about 5 inches. And it comes with a leather sheath.

    Something a bit different , Copperhead model but in old school cool 1080 high carbon steel. Forced patina and stone washed.
    Atomic Red burlap micarta from the states with red and black G10 liners and rocking the carbon pins.
    The stone washing was interesting and a first, hand full of quartz gravel, tupperware container and wife's tumble dryer once she was out of the house.
    Had I being caught the knife would have probably been used on me.
