Why does the G10 overlap the tang on the EB Series?
Per Mick Strider:

"I made them that way because they were designed to be used by guys wearing flight gloves.

When we take the fight to the badguy.....we usually wear flight gloves.....the handle allows the glove or hand to smash into the handle and gives you much more grip friction surface.

This was a design that was first used in CQB applications…..the pilots came later."
