I have been looking at these online and while I like what I am seeing not sure if the handle is a good fit for large size hands. If you have one, what are your thoughts on this knife. Picture maybe?
 
Have you tried emailing or calling the person that makes the knives? That would really be the best way to go.
 
I have an Anza, it bounces around in my tool box all day, it is comfy no frills feels kinda like a 1" dowel in my hand. All the handles are different, so you need to be more specific and probably do what Rev suggests.
 
I've heard that some folks will measure their hand across the palm (knuckle to knuckle) because the knife maker will use that as a guide to design the handle. that was the reason I suggested the call/email.
 
They make such a wide variety of knife sizes and shapes that it's impossible to characterize their entire brand in such a way.
Quality is very good, and well worth the price paid. Customer service is excellent.

These are "custom" knives that Anza built to my specs. Not really raw specs, but mix-and-matching sizes and characteristics from different standard models.

Here is a sheet of photos they sent showing this knife in stages of production:

I see what you mean.
