I almost exclusively carry Kershaw knives, for work and otherwise. The fraxion immediately became my go-to knife. G10 is so much stronger than glass filled nylon, and the carbon is a nice touch too. Being more angular than contoured, I wondered how comfortable it would be in the hand. Well it is extremely comfortable and there's a lot of grip for such a small knife. The G10 and carbon have enough texture to make it much grippier than a metal body, and the jibbing is in just the right place (at least for my hands). The opening is a little stiff but gets better after breaking it in for a few days.
