How large is this knife? I have XL hands and am concerned it might be a bit on the small side.

Several answers down a guy who seems to own both says they are the same size except for handle details, wire clip, and weight? I own this translucent version and have XL hands. This is a BIG knife filling my hand but they pared the weight down by 2oz +/_. You define what's beautiful IMHO this translucent blue is friendly and beautiful compared to black and for EDC always prefer lighter. This is a big knife and light.

It's not small, but for xl hands the manix 2XL would be a more suited option.

Decent size for larger hands. But the Manix 2 XL might be one to check out.

The handle on the lightweight is exactly the same size as the xl without the extra material on the butt of the handle. They are identical.

It's actually bigger than I thought it would be. But since it's so light it's not so bad. It is a little wide though. Maybe not the best choice if you're around sheeple.

It's a bit on the large side for people with small hands. I'm 6'3" and it fits my hand nicely with room to spare. My friend has monster hands and it fits them just fine. For EDC it is a larger knife and is sometimes considered EDC+ because of it's size. It's bigger than you would expect but, still very light. Hope this helped.

I have medium size hands and it is slightly big in my hands. I would compare it to the size of a full size Leatherman (closed of course). I want to agree with people that say the Manix XL would be a better choice but I can't for one reason. The Manix XL has a longer blade than the Manix 2. The blade on Manix 2 is already pushing the limits of what one can legally carry in most states.

Its strong been a pretty good knife ...the only thing I dont like is the size of the blade , Its a tad small for my taste

I have the sheath your looking at, Its a great sheath, not sure if it will work with a larger knife, there is a kydex/plastic liner that holds the blade. May not be forgiving enough to allow the larger blade, while there is a (little) wiggle room with my K-Bar you may have to work your blade in and out a bit (maybe with a little frog-lube or something) to get it to work. For the short money the K-Bar sheath costs, I would give it a shot. You can always sell it on Amazon if it doesn't work

It's the width and weight of the knife that is different from other models normally carried. With the knife on its side in your pocket, it's a couple of inches "high", so you don't want to have a lot of other "stuff" in there with it, such as a cell phone. I daily carry the smaller version of this knife in regular cotton pants or jeans + my wallet in left front pocket with no problems. This model is just a little heavy for me to daily carry in a pocket, that's why I got the belt holster for it. I carry this knife on special occasions when I think I might need the extra tools this knife has. It CAN be carried in a normal size pocket, but I wouldn't count on carrying a lot more in the same pocket. If you're concerned about "lumps" or wear super tight fitting pants, you will have a big lump with this knife. I gladly put up with the lump and weight in my pocket, though, for the tools and utility this knife provides.

My husbands knife is the size of the super tinker. It fits nice with a little room to spare.

For the price it's at, it's a great knife. Obviously it's a little showy and not as tough as some other knives. But it's sturdy, it's large, and it's beautiful. The blade itself is fairly long, around 9 inches; the whole knife being about14.5 inches

My hand is 7 inches, I bought a medium and while it fits, it's a tiny bit bigger than what I wanted. That being said, it's comfortable and fits snug when making a fist. That makes me think it was just the right fit.

I have very large hands (wear XXL gloves and even those tend to be a bit small). My hand fits reasonably well on the grip, but the second knuckle of my index finger does sometimes rub against the guard. I definitely will wear gloves when using this machete, to reduce the discomfort.

I'm sorry it took me so long, this message had been sent to my spam folder. This knife is SMALLER at 5 1/4". Hope this helps :-)

It was a gift to someone - so I don't have it now --- but it was short, very short. it was made to fit on a keychain, so its a small knife, maybe a little over 1 1/2" or so. You might go to the buck site they might have dimensions.

in my opinion it might be slightly larger but if you have large hands it shouldnt be an issue

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.

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.

Inches on one side, cm on the other. I've bought two of these -- great knives, especially for the price. The blade holds an edge well and the marlinspike is well made (why I bought the knife in the first place).

As I say this out loud before I typed it, it sounded bad. But, size is based on your own preference. For a knife used in field dressing, I prefer a 6 inch blade as it is easier to handle, less chance of cutting myself or damaging the blade and just easier to use. This size works fine for deer, I've never tried to use it for anything else.

The handle is 5" long. I can use both hands on the handle. Note - I don't always need to rock this knife for it to work - it can also achieve the same results with an up and down chopping motion. I can hold with all fingers on both hands, including thumbs. This tool is fantastic.

Like dimensions or knife size? I have a 16 inch global knife and it fits into either of the large inserts with room to spare. Overall due to the slanted design it's really much the same size as a regular knife holder. Hope this helps.
