Maybe large for some but I find that this knife is exactly what need to carry with me daily. Sharp as a razor but super study behind the edge so you have confidence no matter what you are doing. I am happy I was able to still get a ProCut model since I have no plans on babying this knife. Time will tell on the durability of the edge and its ease of re-sharpening but I have a feeling I will not be disappointed. This feels like the first purchase of many.
