I love the handle on this knife. I know that some are heavier and look more traditional with the 3 rivets in the handle, but honestly this one feels so much smoother and seasier to hold. Maybe because My hands a on the small side or maybe just having the rounder corners, i think this is the perfect knife for me. It cuts so much better than any other brands Ive had over the years. I hear these are made to last a lifetime, thats good cuz I wont ever buy another brand!
