Feels solid in hand , gloves are not an issue for me . I have rather large palms so handle gives me good grip . Very smooth opening breaking in nicely. Thumb to stud for me is spot on . The mini probably would not work for me .bearfacedkiller wrote: ↑Tue Nov 23, 2021 4:14 pmI’m a big knife kind of guy. Do you like the ergos? Is it easy to open?

Regretting passing on one of those when they were briefly in stock a few months back. Told myself no because it was one if those rare times where I had just bought a couple knives. The waiting game continues!! Such an awesome blade on that beauty.

Thanks! Both CRKs and Hinderers seem to drop in trickles and get snatched up quickly. I for one regret not getting a Sebenza 21 Insingo when they were still available. Sometimes the funds just don't materialize in time. Ah well, such is life

Re: What "Other" is in your pocket???
I came real close to ordering a D2 DLC version when they startedphasing them out for cruwear. It's a well built knife. BM and Cold Steel both make some nice larger folders. The Ruckus was another BM I liked.bearfacedkiller wrote: ↑Tue Nov 23, 2021 3:23 pmThat beast is actually pretty high on my wish list.

Here is a size comparison with Original Manix XL lock back . Love my Manix knives but have to admit the Adamas sits better in pocket .

It’s not even close to being my oldest knife, but this Victorinox Executive SAK is the one knife I own that I’ve carried for the longest uninterrupted period of time; 22 years (since 1999), and still going strong. I always have it in my RFP, regardless of what other knife or knives I may carry and use on any given day. I’ve found uses for every implement. Probably the least used feature is the larger knife blade.

Deep Cuts Cutlery Smol in Nitro-V at 62-63Rc. EDC sized fixed blade. The saber grind is a bit different from my usual preference, but it does beg to be worked hard.

Perhaps the most overlooked Victorinox model. Many moons ago I found one a parking lot of a hobby shop. I carried that one for many years and finally giving it to my brother after I bought a new one. He lost it, of course. I really wish they would release an aloe version in the modern color ways.

Yes, the Executive IS definitely the most overlooked/underrated. And I would love a colored Alox version. I would miss the toothpick and tweezers, but still…I’d love one of those, if Victorinox would ever make them.

Re: What "Other" is in your pocket???
Very cool knife. It's not as figity as spyderco, and there is definitely a break in period. My thumb was sore the first few days!
Mine has a tiny bit of lockrock, which I've read is pretty normal for the new detent ball design. It doesnt bother me.
