Strange design... what are your finger tips supposed to rest on?

WodanThe Charlie One seems to at least have some more "meat" around the cutout like the CRK Professional Soldier. The CRK cutout is also a shakle wrench; dunno if the Pohl Force serves the same purpose.
I've owned a few Izulas and yes, you can wrap some paracord around it - but paracord handles also suck for many reasons like absorbing liquids. 99% of the time you end up throwing away the paracord for a rewrap not because you needed the cord, but because it got filthy during use. Evidently ESEE also realized this and started offering micarta handles for the Izula.
This knife mainly seems to have been designed only with the saber-grip in mind. I imagine it'll cause hand fatigue and hot spots pretty quickly during any prolonged use, but maybe others will feel differently. I've personally tried enough handle shapes to know what works for me. I also avoid steel handles generally since they aren't too pleasent in the cold.
