The blade on the new Fox River EXT-2 is slightly longer and taller than the standard Fox River. The handle design is very similar, but offers a slightly larger footprint for a fuller grip.

Note: the weight on the Fox River EXT-2 feels noticeably heavier than the Fox River EXT-1. It weighs about 40 grams more than the EXT-1 and about 60 grams more than the standard Fox River LT.

For me, I like the feel of the standard Fox River LT better; however, the new Fox River EXT-2 may appeal to some folks. It has a longer and taller blade for deeper cuts, and more forward belly for skinning. In summary, the Fox River EXT-2 is the larger version of the Fox River EXT-1.
