I'm really liking it. I don't normally like that textured pattern on G10 or Ti, but I think it works out here. It's a lot of fun to fiddle with

You call that a knife?

Got that shovel out? Boy did some digging.. haha
Love that knife. Small enough to not unsettle folks that aren't comfortable around them. Honestly have no complaints about it

What does one use a knife like this for? That's an odd way of holding it.

Nothing. It's a joke

Owning knives like this is a joke ?

I walked into work today to find a package from the illustrious u/infinity526 waiting for me - what an awesome time it's been playing with my new Kizer Splinter.
To start, I was completely unaware of this model. I'd never heard of it nor handled one. In his note, Infi mentioned that I'd mentioned not liking the 0450 at some point because I can't grip it properly due to the bottom nub resting right in the middle of my pinky finger. While being nearly identical in size, the Splinter fits my hand very well in a variety of different grips.
The MurderGrip on this thing is particularly comfortable.
Thanks a ton u/infinity526, it's been awesome taking part in another great swap!
Right on man, glad you like it!
Really? My 0450's bottom nub sits so the angled part is right between my pinkie and my ring finger so it's super comfy. But I guess everyone's different lol
If I'm all the way choked up, the nub sits right in the bone of my pinky. Can't move it further up because I'm choked all the way up, gripping around it more towards the bottom just feels really goofy
I was pretty disappointed :/
Oh bummer. That's why I always handle knives at stores if I can before I buy them. I really wanted to get a BM940 but when I felt how horribly it fit my hand, how cheap the aluminum felt, and how bad the opening action was, I walked out with a Spyderco Stretch instead. I did get to handle an 0450 and fell in love but the Stretch was cheaper. Got my 0450 a few weeks later for my birthday. Sorry to hear you didn't like it.
Oh no worries! Luckily I was able to handle one before pulling the trigger and opted for the 0452 instead. I love that bastard and have transitioned to carrying larger knives to the point where it doesn't feel awkward, but I've been trying to get KAI (with some help from u/wags_01) to make a 0451 that's right in between the two.
I had the same problem so I sold mine. I was so sad because I loved everything else about it.
