If you have small hands, get the standard handle, if you have large hands get the Magnum. I personally love the Magnum handles and if given the option that is the only handle I would get on a Busse!!! Here is a photo of two magnum handles:

Good lord porky, that horn handled beast is a beauty

As for standard or magnum, I think it depends on more what you are going to use it for. I have smaller hands and found that the magnums were comfortable and great when it came to chopping. I found the standards to be more nimble in hand. Granted this was with a Hell Razor. This question has come up many times and it doesn't seem that anybody has been disappointed when they've opted for the magnums. If you do a title search in the Busse forum on magnum or handle you should find a lot of the previous threads this was discussed in. Hope this helps and welcome to the sickness :thumbup:

I like the additional size of the mag handles but I’m not fond of the additional shaping (I have med size hands). I really like the handle on the Mud Razor where the palm side has an extra contour and the finger side is flat.
