Finally got mine in today. I've got a question though. Does the prybar end make it impossible for you guys to hold the knife comfortably?

I have the opposite problem - the knife makes the prybar impossible to use without slicing my hand off Make sure your holding it as intended. See the following video. I'm going to give it a shot, but I can't see it not causing a pretty bad hotspot on the back of my hand if it were to be used much. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=studIpxZ9pY |

ETA: this is a response to post about the prybar part diggin into the hand
Mostly, depends on the cut and grip. But, for general, that thing sticks in the fat of my hand. Also, the blade ain't as full/fat as an ESEE Eskabar. Kinda disappointed. |

I'm a little disappointed in the geometry of the blade in the hand as well. Without a handle the grip is too small. With a paracord wrap to remedy this it pushes your index finger out enough that you have to start worrying about slipping onto the edge because there is no choil or shoulder. I am debating whether or not I should file off the first 1/8" of the edge.

I got my Izula in today. I'm not sure about steel comparisons or anything like that, but the Izula is 100% more comfortable in the hand to me. I guess i'll hang on to the scrapivore for a little while longer and see if it grows on me.

Yeah I've had a little time to handle it and it feels like there would be a chance to cut your index finger on the blade. I wish they made the blade a little bit wider to stop that and made the handle a bit longer. The design has good features, but needs some tweaks.
