Mk3 owner here.
If you don't mind, I'm curious what it is about the Mk3 that you don't like ... price aside. I really like mine.

Thanks for the reminder to watch thickness. I'll have to pull out my knives and determine why I don't like them.
As for the Mk3, I never liked the way the full Griptilian handle filled my hand. In fact, I carry a mini grip and it's perfect for me. I assume that the Mk3 is built off the full handle.
Also, for some reason, I don't like the "hump" of the blade. I've heard nothing but good things about it, I just think it wouldn't fit my hand nicely. The look of the blade is a secondary excuse to justify to myself not buying it!
