Is the handle sleek? Does is grip nice or does it feel like a grab? I have smaller hands.

In smaller hands, it would seem like a dagger, but the grip is excellent if you know how to hold the knife in more ways than one. It all depends on what grip techniques feel more natural to the user. I have large hands. The grip seems small in a tight grip but feels natural in a more relaxed yet subtle grip. It does have a nice grip. It feels ergonomic.

If you have smaller hands you wont like the grips of the ff6. The Ontario sp6 (same great blade) will fit you better. Yes, I have both and the sp6 sells for less and handles better. I now have two sp6 and one ff6. More free advise-If you're looking at the ka-bar, the cold steel leatherneck handles better. (same reason)

I have small hands too, and I think it has a good grip. I will say I haven't done much testing with it though, since I don't have much call to use a fighting knife around the house. Also, the Ontario SP series does have better grips, so the Ontario SP6 with the same size blade might be worth considering.

The dimensions are approximately the same as the Marine K-Bar, but instead of leather, the grip is made of a Krayton-type hard rubber which makes for a nice, sure grip without being "sticky". It has a very comfortable and natural feel.

It's not uncomfortable but, depending on your hand size, it may not fit you well. I have large hands and it was a poor fit for me. I like smaller slipjoint knives but a knife of this type really performs best with a handle that allows variations to gripping to maximize cutting action. The Mini-Grip handle size didn't work for me although the blade length was just about perfect.

The handle feels "rubbery" and is quite comfortable to hold. There is a long, decorative metal piece on the top surface of the handle.

When using it normally, I have no problems at all with gripibility. I've never used it wet or with wet hands, but that might become slippery. But normal use, I have no problems :) I would say it's slick, but not at all slippery

I have pretty big hands and when i palm the mouse my fingers don't go past the side. It gives a nice, full feel when holding it.

This one as well as my Gerber before seem to be OK. Never had an issue with being loose. Like the feel of this handle as well.

The handle is not abnormally heavy. I really like the design and feel. If you do buy it make sure you really slam the handle into the blade. otherwise it will be wobbly.

The handle is smooth. I actually was wondering the same thing before i bought it. And this razor has a really nice well built feel to it. It doesn't feel like a cheapie $10 job. I would recommend getting a soft case or a stand with it.

it has a 4" metal grip which fits my hand. beware the blade does not always lock when opened and spring assist does not work very well. i bought it just for looks in my collection.

No, I do not find the handle uncomfortably small.The handle is 3 7/8inches long. I can wrap all four fingers around the it, and I have medium size hands (male). But comfort really depends on how you expect to use it. For general daily use in a non-survival type environment it is a good size for me. I open boxes, cut rope or string, clean fingernails, test steaks for doneness, etc. I would much prefer my full size Griptilon for serious field work, skinning, or as a fighting knife, although this one would certainly be better than none.

Its about (guessing here) 1 and a half to 1 inch in width? Its not too large in my opinion and i have fairly small hands. Its definitely worth it. I've had it for about 4 months now.

The handles are slender but I don't have large hands so I can't really tell you. Haven't had any complaints though and other people have used them as well.

It does not feel slippy in my hands and I like the feel of holding it. But it definitely is smoother than many "rugged" cases I've seen. In my opinion, those cases have too much friction when being taken out of pocket.

The handle is not short. Its a medium length DE razor handle. Its longer than the Merkur 34C and shorter than the Merkur 23C. In circumstances that cause this handle to be slippery I think you'll find that any other razor handle will also be slippery. I don't find this razor handle more slippery than any other type of chrome plated razor handle. What this razor has is probably the best "curb appeal" of any razor you'll probably ever see. It will make you feel like the king you were always meant to be.

my question is what is the texture of the bar under the grip? is it smooth? or are the grips knurled? (knurled handles are the cross patterns than allows for grip)

The handle is plastic and very grippy. We store it in a knife block with Wusthof knives and it looks ok.

I have small hands too. It just encircles the phone. Not big and will easily fit in your hand. And really pretty.
