Just wondering which one has more place for my fingers.

Given the complex shapes of the handles the numbers of handle lengths don't tell me much.

The Talwar is a tiny bit too small for me though I can make it work with some discomfort and I'm wondering if the Bedlam might have a little bit more space on its handle.

Thank you for your help.
 
Hmm. Did I get no response because I posted too early in the day and new posts pushed it out of sight or would the typical CS customer not have the BM model and vise versa?
;-)

I might just have to rescale and print out both knives and compare that way.

Please safe me from that.

Actually you were a bit too late. When I read bladeforums at 2am I did not see your post.:D

I don't have a bedlam but the CS Talwar's handle seems a bit too slim for me (and I don't have large hands).
 
How wide is your hand? I've two Talwars 4". I've enough space for hand in saber grip, handle is comfortable, maybe little bit too slim, but generally it's ok. My hand is 8 cm width, my middle finger is also 8 cm long.
 
It would be more comfortable if the handle is about 1/4" wider, especially the groove part for the index finger and middle finger. Wrap some 550 on the handle and give it a try and you'll know what I am talking about.
