Both are the same temperature. The steel knife blade pulls heat away from your skin much more efficently that the plastic handle, making it feel cooler to the touch.

What is legal blade length for folding knife in Florida?

We all know common sense and the law are not intuitive. I am 53 and I have carried a pocket knife all my life (45 years) and I feel I use for something every day. I carry it clipped to my front pocket, in reasonable view. A few years back I received a Smith & Wesson SWAT Assisted Opening Folder 3.7" Satin Combo Edge, for the last 10+ years it is in my pocket every day. I have shipped it from many airports because I forgot it was in my pocket. 99% of its use is cleaning my finger nails. I sharpen it often and it is possible to shave with it. Now for my point of this conversation. I have cut myself out of carelessness more with this one knife than all my previous knives. I am currently looking at the Smith & Wesson SWBG2TS Border Guard 2 Rescue Knife with 40% Serrated Tanto Blade, Glass Break, and Seatbelt Cutter, Black (4.4" blade) and Cold Steel Recon 1 Tactical Knife with G-10 Handle Tanto Point with Black Blade, ComboEdge (4" blade). The fact is, this knife is a tool and not used as a weapon. A two piece pool stick could be mistaken as Martial Arts Escrima Sticks. I feel a 3 inch blade is a reasonable length for a folding carry pocket knife. Larger should be told to remove from public.
