What's my Size?
This is a customized custom knife. Like having a tailored shirt made for you. Only better (and cheaper!)
Please follow these instructions closely. Do not try to add slack to your measurement. My sizing algorithm does all that for you. I just need your 2-finger circumference measurement from where you wear rings. Or around your knuckles if those are bigger.
Here's how to find your Hideaway Knife size in inches.
1) Get a ruler, scissors, scotch tape, a pen and sheet of paper.
2) Do what you see the person in the above video doing. The strip of paper being cut is narrow, just 1/2 or 1/4 inch wide. He is using a small piece of scotch tape to secure the base of his trigger finger. Then, he's pulling the paper around his trigger and middle finger, where he wears rings. He's pulling the paper to "snug" but not tight. He marks the overlap point with a pen, and measures with a ruler.
After the final step, it looks like this:
A close-up of why size matters is below. Look at the 2 red trainers. Each one provides a perfect fit for the right person.
3) That's it! Now look at the chart below to find out your Hideaway Size.
Please do not use a sewing-kit measuring tape. They stretch and are not accurate at all for this purpose. If you want to wear your HideAway with your Nomex flight gloves, then request cord-wrapping and take off the cord-wrap, *or* measure with your gloves on.
HideAways are custom fit to your hand for retention and speed. Please measure twice.
