The handle is quite well rounded enough, thank you, it just doesn't show well in the photos. Apparently you're not familiar with the original Nessmuk, since the lines on this knife pretty much match those exactly. The only difference is the slimness of the blade and the fine point...which works quite well BTW in tight places. You also apparently aren't familiar with any of the Green River butcher knives or some of the very useful Persian blades that use the same profile and have been in use for hundreds of years. I've been using knives for around 60 years, and have tried just about everything, trust me, I wouldn't have spend hours mirror polishing this blade unless it was worth it. I do own the Nessmuk I used to design the profile BTW. and this particular knife sold in 12 minutes flat. To each his own though, as you say.
