Question: Have you held that thing in your hand? Just looking at it, the handle looks as if it were designed to look good, rather than to feel good. It appears to have sharp-pointed finger grooves on both sides of the handle; why, for chrissake? If you haven't had it in your hand, at least try it in your grip before purchasing it, and give it a good, tight squeeze. If those semi-sharp points dig painfully into your palm, you're really better off choosing something more practical.
Why do you think I'm waiting until I get to actually handle one?
