Hi folks,

I have a Chen Duty which I love except for the handle. It's uncomfortable for my hands, just seems too small and thin to work the blade hard with. My hand really hurts working wood with it. Where might I look for people who could make me replacement scales to fit my needs? Not looking for funky or crazy or spending more than the cost of the knife and waiting months - just a pair of good, thick, hand filling wood scales built to fit my requirements and fitted to my knife to fix the hot spots and make working with the knife a joy.

Many thanks!
 
I would recommend that you try making handles yourself. It is possible to do with basic hand tools and advice is available in the Shop Talk section of this forum.

If you don't want to go that route look for craftsman here.

I couldn't make an icepop stick. :D Thanks for the suggestion.
