Handle A 0095BW handle is made of Titanium finished in the BlackWash™ style. The edges of the claddings are strongly beveled. Furthermore, on the up- per and lower indentations is applied a ribbed texture that improves a grip. The handle subtly falls at the end, creating a slight pistol grip. It is better that one could expect from the geometric shape with regard to ergonomics. A hand arranges comfortably, only with a stronger grip the edges of the narrow handle begin to be uncomfortable. The wide trim ensures a convenient access to the frame lock. The folder is equipped with a clip, which holds well, but not too discreetly the knife at the pocket edge. In the 0909, the handle consists of the thin, steel liners and claddings from the textured G10. The whole is rather massive due to a fact that no lightening holes have been applied to the structure. The edges of the claddings are rounded and additionally grinded slightly at an angle at the top and at the bottom. A matter of ergonomics is in this knife strongly depended on the palm size, as the handle has been profiled for the large palms and in the small ones arranges very inconveniently. A distance be- tween the cuts under a little finger and an index finger in a combination with the rather protruding belly makes an issue when it comes to finding a proper grip. The angular claddings are also disadvantageous as despite the rounded edges strongly pierce into the skin. When you use this knife, you should rather wear gloves. KNIVES
