Handle length question.

[R.H.Clark]

Hear is a Medium Monster Chopper I forged for a customer.When speaking with him he originally wanted a handle about 5" in length.After forging I decided this chopper needs a longer handle.The handle area I have marked is for a 6-1/2" handle.I think it looks about right on this chopper.What do you think?http://

It looks right to me. How does it feel?

 

[R.H.Clark]

Feels really good.I think anything shorter would look and feel odd.

Looks good to me also!!:thumbup:

Any more forward on the front of the scales it would look odd and shorter....no way!!

I think it looks great. She's got curve!

I think you're right. On a big ol' bad boy like that, the extra handle length will help with balance. You can always choke up on it, or put your hand on the end of the handle for extra leverage. And yeah, it would look odd with a shorter handle.

Wait, I just noticed something... Good gravy, that's a MEDIUM?
