That's also my ideal lengths for all around use - 3" blade, 4" handle.

That said, 3-3.5" cutting edge is a sweet spot for me. It has been for a long time, before.
Yes. This is exactly what I'm asking. What I'm trying to know is not everybody's favorite EDC folder but the taste of EDC size comparing to their own hands.Evil D wrote: ↑Tue Nov 19, 2019 5:21 pmnativeleek wrote: ↑Mon Nov 18, 2019 9:53 amHi there.
Just want a discussion on your favorite size for an EDC folder.
IMHO, a perfect EDC folder should have a handle long enough to accommodate all four fingers with none sticking out from my pinky in saber grip. This provides a secure grip while maximizing the carriability.
In my situation, the ideal handle length is somewhere between 3.6 inches to 3.9 inches depending on its design.
Do you prefer a smaller handle or something larger for various grip choices? Please share your opinion.
Thanks!
I just read this a little more thorough and I can sort of relate, I used to obsess quite a bit about how much handle was sticking out of the end of my hand. It took me a LONG time to warm up to the Military for this reason, but it's now probably my overall favorite knife. All I can say is my taste for slightly longer blades made longer handles a necessity so I adjusted. I also have pretty big hands so on a knife like the Caribbean I don't have much handle sticking out in a full fisted grip and it gives me the edge length I'm looking for.
+1 (still hoping for an ffg serrated Endura)
Since when did restrictions become blessings?

Usually socks and underwear and such are typical items. So, longer folding blade is a must as crazy people like to target Walmart for some reason. I prefer not to be a victim if I have any say so in the matter. 4" fits in pocket well. 4" also good size barrels on pistols.
