I just got this Cold Steel SRK Compact and I absolutely love it. I think the 5-5.5" fixed blades have become one of my favorite types of knives. There's something about the way the knives that size handle and carry that make them feel just right. This SRK-C completes the set of Cold Steel knives in my collection that use the SRK handle. I have a Recon Tanto, an SRK, this SRK-C, and a Master Hunter. All the others are in classic Cold Steel Black handles with bright satin, San-Mai blades. I went with OD Green for the SRK-C since this knife is in 3V steel. I wanted the color to differentiate it from the others in the set. I thought the green would be like my Lynn Thompson Signature Kobun but it's a different shade of green. The handle of the SRK-C is also a little thinner than the normal SRK handle. Still very contoured and comfortable but definitely not like the others. I'm so happy to add another beautiful Cold Steel fixed blade to my collection.
