PPT First Impressions
I just received the new PPT today. First impressions are very good. It's a great looking knife, incredible fit and finish and feels great in the hand. The G10 is very grippy without being rough. It is a chunky little knife, doesn't feel too heavy at all to me. I've walked around the house with it in my pocket and it feels fine, it is more noticable in the pocket than the Paramilitary, but not by much. I'll probably remove the lanyard as I'm not a big fan of them.
I can see this becoming a favourite of mine, for me the size is perfect :)

Awesome. Can we see a width shot as compared to, say...an Endura and Manix 2?

I have fairly large hands and the handle on the PPt is a good size, a bit shorter than the Paramilitary.gull wing wrote:Nice shots badger, thanks.
Looking at your "in hand" one, I see plenty of handle length. What would you consider your hand size as being sml, med, lg ?
Keep us up dated.

You sure can :) My Manix is a bit thicker than standard 'cos I rescaled it, I don't have any Endura's so I put the Paramilitary in there too.quattrokid73 wrote:Awesome. Can we see a width shot as compared to, say...an Endura and Manix 2?

I believe the backspacer is steel, the liners are skeletonized.zvir wrote:Is the spacer made form steel, or something lighter (Al, some sort of plastic)?

I don't own either of those knives but here's one of it next to a Blade Tech Ganyana Lite, it has a 99mm closed length. I've looked at the Delica's closed length on the Spyderco catalog and it's the same as the PPT, 108mm as I've measured it.mark greenman wrote:Great pics! Would it be possible to get a shot of it closed, compared to a delica, or the manix 2?
