Handles like the Cultellus, but bigger?

[pocketfulladoubles]

Hi all. So, I'm adding to my small Busse collection and I'm looking for something in particular. I really like the handle style on the Cultellus, how it has the dimples on the side to fit the fingers, but it is just a tad small. Is there something similar that has that contour, but is larger. The blade size is fine, but I wouldn't object to something 1/2 to 1-inch larger. Thanks!

Yeah, I love the Straight Handles too.



The Culti has a 'Gen III' handle, there's nothing with that handle in current production.

You'll need to look back at the BAIII (5"), SJ (6") or Euro 4 (5") for a similar handle in a larger knife.

The Culti is like a skinny mini SJ IMO

BAIII & BA-e

Somebody get that man a drink quick before he sees the price difference between his wee' Lil' Culti and it's fore'brothers!

Though clearly bigger than a Culti, yet somehow similar - I've really come to love (from a functional and comfort standpoint) the shape of the ASH handle, especially when combined with the Magnum slabs. Every curve and contour, and there are many, seem to be very well thought out and placed to facilitate many comfortable grips.

Mostly, it's the bulges on the side of the handle that I like so much. I have an NMFBM for my chopper, and I'm looking for a little sidekick for it to do some carving and slicing. From some info I got at another post, I ended up getting a BAD and SMOG and have a Bear Cub on the way too to see how they feel, but I gotta say I really like that Cultellus. It is just a little small in the girth of the handle, and the blade could be a touch longer. Is there really nothing that would fit that category? Does that BA-e have those bulges too? What about the Lean Mean?

I'm thinking about adding liners to my Cultellus to beef up the handle. I think it would feel much better a tad thicker.
