Thanks for your message, Fred.
Still, I'm thinking about the concept of the "PI" grip.
As you and previously Bill said, from holding the grip you'll be able (without looking) to tell if the blade is oriented perpendicular or parallel to the ground.
But, you will not be able to tell if the blade true edge (hope the word is correct---I mean the part of the blade opposite to the saw) is pointing down to the ground or towards you.




For example, the Camillus CAM1A1 has, in my opinion, a superior design of the handle (only on this topic, I'm not considering ergonomics).

Without looking at it, you will know not only if the blade was oriented perpendicular or parallel to the ground, but also if the blade edge was pointing up or down.
