Ban,
I feel that a 17-20 deg drop in the handle is helpful to maintain proper wrist alignment and decrease the extension needed to complete the cut. When I hold one of my blades out with my arm and elbow fully extended, the blade flows straight out. I do not need to flex my wrist to straighten the blade.
that makes a lot of sense... i'm sure it makes a big difference chopping too.
i was taking a look at your site and i notice the majority of your work has that 17-20 deg. drop in the handle.. even the neckers..which i really like..
you make some great looking knives Jose.. they all look like solid workers..:thumbup:
