Form, function, fit, and finish are excellent / superior. Regarding form and function, the length, width, and height suit the hand (personally) nicely in either orientation (chisel side up or down). The cutaway / thumb ramp opposite the lanyard hole gives a good angle and purchase for the thumb with balanced jimping (size, spacing, and bite) along its length, if using CQC in chisel-side-down orientation. Larger jimping on both sides provide multiple friction points for thumb, fingers, and hand when changing grips. For me, the best feature is the scalloped cutout below the lanyard hole with the pinched rise terminating the cutout, down from the lanyard hole. This feature provides a secure place for any finger on the hand in either orientation, minimizing the chance of slippage and maximizing grip choices. Could go on, but hope this conveys the thoughtful brilliance of the design. In other words, it's a tactical / martial work of art for what it is, a force-multiplying CQ handheld impact / pressure / leverage tool . . . talked myself into getting another! Hope this helps and regards to all :-)
