I didn't know where to post this so if there's a better place mods please move.
I'm currently on my 4th knife I've made myself and I have the blade design pretty much where I want it but I want to have a handle that's curved kind of like a TOPS tracker handle but with more of a curve, I was wondering if you guys out there wouldn't mind posting some pictures of knives you have or have seen with curved handles to give me some ideas. It doesn't have to be a knife you own or even one you have ever touched, of it's got a curved handle I wana see it.
Thank you to everyone who can help me out, I really appreciate any ideas to help me
 
maybe it's just my eyes, but the TOPS tracker knife is hardly curved at all. It's a straight handle that curves a bit near the butt is all...
 
Yea I know the tracker doesn't really curve I just couldn't think of any real examples. it's crazy how people look threw posts just to find mistakes and point them out lol, honestly who cares if you don't have anything to add to the actual topic then move along. I'm sure everyone realizes what a curved handle is and doesn't really care about what my example is.

And if you'll notice I said kind of like the tracker but with MORE of a curve.
 
look at the viper tank fixed blade . it has a slight curve in belly of handle and the end curves pretty good . I personally like most curved handles on larger heavier blades helps with chopping .
 
BM Onslaught, Kershaw Lahar to name a couple. there are many knives with curved handles
 
Hess Knifeworks' Caper has a handle much like a flintlock pistol, very comfortable in hand too.

Bark River Colonial Patch knife is also along these lines.
 
When you are talking cuved hadles, do you mean "umbrella handle" looking things like that Viper, or knife handles that are straight along the "spine" side, and curved in the edge side, like a Randall border patrol type hande?
 
Kershaw Rake, Kershaw Tremor, Benchmade 741 Onslaught. The Onslaught also has a quite wide blade.

I like the viper type handle, the border patrol knife doesn't seem to curve, or the ones i have looked at, at least.

They are straight on the "spine" side, and not straight (curved) on the "edge" side.

But it sounds like you are looking for the umbrella-style curved handle anyway.

Check out jagdnickers, like i said. All curvy handled.
 
I prefer pistol grip handle for ergo. Not having to use a lot of force and the inertia will do the job. Parang and Khukuri come to mind.

how are we supposed to help you if we don't understand what you mean? I was trying to be helpful by understanding just HOW you wanted your handle curved, since you gave an example of a pretty straight handle. So, I thought I'd specify my doubts about what you were asking so that I, or other posters, could give good examples of what you actually want.

don't need to get so defensive, man.
 
I just got some of the new Cold Steel Barong Machetes in for the shop and they have a beautiful curved handle to them. They knocked it out of the park with the ergos on it.
