The handles fit the hand,Very Well.Grip will Never be a Problem,including Gut Grease,Blood,etc.& Since the grips are of a Plastic/Rubber Composition,Your hand won't be frozen, when in use,Up in the High Yonders!The blade is Definitely Tough/Resilient,& Can Hone slick with a strop,Quite well!The sheaths are OK & can be covered with a thin hide or poly/Nylon very easily.I own 2 of which I got from the guide,as well.I recommend this knife for any Kit!
