Get a grip!...on an integral socket handle. :)

[Storm Crow]

I've recently had a couple of people asking about a longer socket handle to be able to get a two-handed grip on it. Not trying to dissuade anyone from a longer grip, but I just wanted to demonstrate that by making use of the generous choil I like to put on 'em, one can get a pretty solid hand-and-a-half grip on all of the bush swords I've made recently. Even with gorilla paws like mine.

From the shortest...

...to the longest.

See?

These are intended for one-handed wielding, but they are capable of two-handed chopping if need be. I wouldn't use this kind of a grip to stab, though.

Thanks!

Really cool bush swords.

Thanks, Roger! I have orders for several more, and better pics of the older ones I'll be putting up, so there'll be plenty of these to see.
