It has a small 'beard' enough to catch the back of your fingers if you holding the handle under the head and let the backs of your finger touch it, it will draw blood (even without you noticinf) and as with the big boy, it came sharp enough to shave and shiny enough to use as a mirror

When I ordered k8ne I mentioned putting a longer handle on it, they didn't seem that keen. Quite glad actually as it fits inside my bag nicely as it is

Haha, yeah they are sharp buggers alright, and by all accounts cut like a laser. Hands as well as wood....Which is why I'd like a bit of a beard or notch so you can hold it right behind the head and not risk losing a digit
