Below is my favorite and the one I will actually "use"! Because I mentioned this fact at The Blade Show annual meeting of the RKCC "may" have led to Aluminum being the most ordered there!
The knife is about 1/2-1/2+ ounces heavier than the rosewood but feels like much more in your hand! The bead-blast texture of the aluminum makes this choice..."by far"...a better gripped-while-in-use...choice!
Stay Sharp,
