no manufacturer is interested in flyers being randomly handed out in a random city by a random person. It does not matter if the person can spell simple words or not. Man, just reading the mouse-over text of the OP's original post was enough to make me cringe with fremdschämen and move along. This ...

CTS-XHP is generally regarded as "better", I think. I'd personally buy it over the regular production model if it weren't so expensive (another US$70+).

Yeah if i grip behind the choil my pinky is just past the tip on the butt of the handle, but i'm a choil guy so i'm using the choil 99% of the time. If your hands are any bigger than that i'd recommend the Military or Poilce because handles don't get much bigger than that. So realistically, my opti...

I am assuming you mean using the choil....cause behind the choil, my hands JUST fit. Sadly that is where the knife is comfortable to hold...and part of the reason I would do away with the choil...but that is not a conversation for this thread...but yeah behind the choil, the Para2 seems to be a med...

P.s if your anywhere near Auckland give me a holla if you need to "try on" a few Spyderco's .... trust me I know what a pain in the behind it is when you cant try something out first. That's very kind of you, but I'm way down in Dunedin -- the middle of nowhere as far as Spyderco availabi...

I would say to try the knife in your hand first. You will know when you have the right one asit becomes an extension of your hand and enhances the fluidity in whichever motion you use it. I'd love to, but I live thousands of kilometers from the nearest Spyderco-stocking store, so I unfortunately ha...

For something on the lighter side for everyday carry I would also suggest checking out the Endura or even the Byed Cara Cara 2. The CC2 has a finger choil that the Endura lacks and I think it's got great ergonomics even for large hands like my dad's for example. A finger choil is something I look f...

Thanks for the replies, guys :) . I was told by another gentlemen with sizeable paws that the UKPK/Caly knives are actually pretty comfortable, in that they've no bumps or ridges that could sit my fingers in weird places. If your wanting to know EDC knives for big hands, i would say go with either a...

Spydercos for large hands

Are there any other Spyderco fans out there that happen to have rather large mitts like myself? I'm having a lot of trouble finding a knife right for me. The knives I've been told are fairly good for large hands are: Military Caly models UKPK models What are some other knives I might be able to add ...

I bought a PM2 and really wanted to like it; the compression lock is quite cool, the blade shape is nice and it's fairly light, as everyone has already said. Unfortunately it's just too small for my large hands -- small enough to be somewhat uncomfortable for me to hold (I'd love to get my hands on ...
