... I need to give this knife a try. I almost feel obligated to, after years of hoping and hinting about more models suited for smaller hand sizes - and there it was all along ...
My thoughts exactly. I am sorely tempted by the K390 model and feel a flush of green envy whenever a spy-bro posts a photo of one.

I salute your manliness, for carrying this folding machete. It's too mucho for me. You know what they say about guys with big feet and big bladed knives...

Top three going by pocket-time (update March 24):
- EDC: Endura thin red line ffg combo edge (VG10); Wayne Goddard PE (4V), Endela SE (VG10)
-Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), and also Wayne Goddard PE (4V)
I think that the Enuff actually does not offer less or at least not much less grip area than the Delica (which actually offers a lot of handlespace for a small knife imo) - ?
See the crude lines I drew in Kerrcobras pic.
the contouring can make a huge difference though. the delica remains more open to the end whereas the enuff cramps your fingers together with the contouring.
True.
All I recall though is that my Enuff (1) handle grip area was not too short for my hand.
I think it fit just about like a Manix behind the choil, but am not 100% certain anymore

I would assume I have "true" L/XL hands, both in length and width, and as said: The Enuff 1 did fit perfectly, as far as I recall it offered at least manix-ish handle space.
Looks smaller than a Manix, but it’s not a problem if they’re similar. The Manix 2 fits me almost like a glove, with just a we bit of handle to spare.
I've asked in the "Enuff 2" thread viewtopic.php?f=2&t=87486&p=1705143#p1705143 for a comparison pic with the Manix handle.
So hopefully we'll see.
I am curious myself if I recall correctly...

Another sunny day with the amazing Stretch 1 on the island of La Palma.
Mountains, sea and black volcanoe sand - nice combo.
