I want to know how high the handle is, in milimeters if possible.
I'm trying to compare it to another piece I own so as to make sure I don't duplicate.

Also, ..... how's the grip? It doesn't look like its a wrap over rayskin, just loose paracord, is that correct? Would you say it fills the hand, or does it easily roll in hammer grip?

I no longer have mine, so I cannot tell you dimensions, but The handle is not Loose, nor is it paracord. It is a japanese type wrap by Wally Hayes. Quite grippy.
 
Here we go....
OAL - 7 5/8"
blade - 3 1/4"
handle - 3 3/4"
blade width - 3/4"
blade thickness is approx 3/16" or less.

The handle wrap appears to be a cotton type, about the width of gutted paracord. Or is could be gutted paracord. Its wound very tightly, and solid, with an expoxy sealer. Grip is not hand filling as its a small knife with a small handle, I have rather large hands so I cant be a good judge of small knives anyhow. :o The wrap is right on the handle so its not as fat as it could be though I hear there is a version out there with a rayskin wrap under the paracord that should be a bit fatter but its as rare as hens teeth. ;)
 
Dave, I know what you like in a wrapped handle - this one would be ideal for you and about half what a Hayes custom will set you back.
