I completely understand the concern about the handle being too small...

In my hands (glove size XL), the end of the handle does not reach through my palm.  But for that, it does not feel bad at all.  In fact, the handle feels pretty good to me.  Things are nicely rounded, and the index finger groove is in a really good position.  It is still good when I hold the knife in several different positions.  The end of the handle seems to be tapered a little so that it fits nicely in my palm, without the end of it digging into my palm at all.

There is a small radiused ramp for your thumb that has a bit of jimping.  It works well.

All in all, I think it feels good.

The blade thickness helps make it feel like you are holding a solid knife that can take pretty much whatever you ask of it.  Not a big blade blade, but a solid one, none the less.

The edge in this one is decently sharp right out of the box.  I will spend some time here shortly and tune it up to my standards though.  I tend to get things polished up a bit more than what is feasible in a production setting.

Thank you for picking up these Eafengrows!  How does that handle feel compared to the blade?  4.25" seems like it might be just a bit small, generally, but maybe it's okay with a 4.72" blade...  But then there's that 5.5mm blade stock...  Regardless, I hope it works well for you, sir!
