Only things I would change is the belt clip to alow both tip and down carry and add assisted opening to it. Then it would be perfect.
Back to the grip panels, having used this knife with wet and bloody hands, I'm completely sold. No trouble maintaining a solid grip on the knife while cutting and for the hell of it, stabbing (while skinning an animal). I'm actually going to buy another one as I like this one so much.
