When I was trying to decide if I wanted a PT or not, I did a lot of searching for information. Most of the comparison pictures I found were comparing the PT to other hide end knives, like the SnG, Sebenza, etc. I didn't have any of those knives. So, it really didn't tell me a whole lot.
I've been carrying my PT pretty much every day since purchasing it. It is wonderful blade and has become my favorite knife. The ergonomics are just amazing.
You can get a full grip on this knife when choked up. I have average size hands. (a large size cheap glove fits perfectly).
If you need some extra leverage, you can choke down on it, and still get a full 3 fingers on the knife no problem.
This what I carry in pocket during the day at work, minus the cell phone taking the picture.
Here are some comparison pictures.
Spyderco Delica: The Delica needs a choil. Both knives weigh 2.5 ounces.
Cutting Edge
handle length
Spyderco Dragonfly2:
The Dragonfly2 is a nice small knife. But it cramps my hand when choked up on it. And when I choke down on, it feels unsecure. The handle on the dragonfly isn't tall enough for me. That sharp point over the spyderhole limits where you can put your thumb.
Opinel #7

If you're looking for your first high end production knife in a small package, take a long hard look at the Strider PT. It may not look as gentlemanly as a Small Sebenza, but I will tell you that the flamed titanium on the Striders is AMAZING. I love to pull it out and watch it sparkle in the sunlight. The angles on the knife look like they wouldn't be comfortable, but they are actually very comfortable. It helps fill the whole hand and make a small knife, feel larger in the hand. That feel helps reduce fatigue with prolonged use.
