Either blade length works for me. I have user SSP’s in both blade lengths. They work good. The leather handles give a good grip. Although micarta would be a little better as far as the weather.
Here is a question for the Capt, can you get the 4 5/8 model sheath as a No Hone? That style of hone is not too user friendly attached to the sheath for a user knife. I just keep the hone in my hunting bag. But from past builds I figure this one will also wind up as a safe queen. oldguy
