I really prefer a wrap of some kind on thin handled knives as I don't think anything gives better traction if done well.

    Excellent suggestion and I agree with you on the superior grip of a good jap-wrap handle. My ideal handle is wider with the wrap IE: my Watson HiTS Ti.

    However I'm not sure re-texturing or even re-wrapping the handle on the CCW will solve my issues with rolling. It's just a little small for me. I'm thinking about selling it to buy the larger L version because I really like the design of it. Here is a screenshot from the Maker's Instagram account of the two versions next to each other:

    I also am itching to get my hands on a Sosby Blades Cub as a true discreet CCW carry blade. Handle looks like it will solve some of my issues.

    I really want the Cub for the same reason. Hopefully they will be available again soon and with a trainer blade option.

    Well, my own pix leave something to be desired but then my livelihood doesn't depend on it. (Thankfully.)

    FWIW, a few respected members stepped up to speak well of your gear and that was good enough for me. (I'm something of a knife guy.)

    So, I hope I gave no cause to take offense and that none was taken. Your stuff looks good and I wish you success.


    ETA: And where are my manners? Welcome to the forum. (The best of its kind, I daresay.)

    Since Justin is now here 8’will add my observations.

    This looks like a really well designed knife. I like the fact that the handle has pronounced features to keep the hand from sliding one way or the other. These are critical and often overlooked details.

    “Approximately 3 inches” may or may not be helpful. Depending on jurisdiction, whether it is slightly longer or slightly shorter can make a big difference in legality of carry. I would prefer that the blade be listed as, and actually be 2 7/8 to 2.9 inches long. Exactly 3” is also not bad but less preferred.

    As other me mentioned , the sheath could use some more thought. In my opinion, the carry system adds more to the usefulness of a knife than the knife itself. I suggest considering some additional attachments that could be included, perhaps for carry methods other than belt carry. A knife that will be carried more often is worth paying a little more to purchase.

    Did you ever purchase the L version?

    I will post some pictures of the blade later tonight at work. I love the enlarged hawkbill style pommel and it really anchors the knife in the hand and allows the thumb to sit comfortably on top as a power assist in a reverse grip.

    I hate the the large teck lock that came with the sheath. I see that a Discreet Carry Concept clip is an option now for new blades. Really wish I held out for that but not a deal breaker. This package is an excellent overall value for what you get. Basically Spyderco or Benchmade pricing for a true purpose built blade that actually delivers.

    My main concern is that it is very slim and skinny in my bear paw hands. The knife kind of wants to roll and the grip is slightly cramped for me. Again, this is due simploto my hand size and not the knife. I was told the CCW-L version has a slightly larger handle but I'm not sure I want to step up to a 4" blade on a low profile CCW knife.

    Not yet. I listed my standard CCW for sale and haven't been able to get an L version yet. I was debating just making some mods to my current CCW but I think I really just want the L.

    Watching with interest.
