The handle is all kinda big and roomy...
The stonewashed solid Ti handle beats out the already quite good G10 plus liner, at only 3/10ths oz weight gain. The G10 is not stonewashed to slightly break edges of bevels as with the titanium, and titanium a soapy tacky unslick metal very unfriendly to uncomfortable temperature changes. You can heat one end of a piece to red hot, and hold opposite end with bare hand. Plus, I plain wanted roughest possible.
Again, the spearpoint version a better cutter, and always one of the thinner blade "slicer" versions, but that seems rather counter to original design for military/civilian abuse, such as breaking airdropped ammo pallet straps or digging evidential empties out of asphalt.
