I want a larger handle

[John Grant Wicklund]

I am looking for a new fixed blade with CPM steel and a blade no more than 5” long, and thick enough for general ranch and hunting work. Hard work sometimes. That isn’t a general problem, but I have really large hands. I can easily palm a basketball. I know about proportion and all, but I often need a full strong grip on a knife. A blade smaller than 5 inches would be better. My fingers are long and palms are wide and thick. I need a suggestion or two.

Lots of makers Here will love to help you.

I specialize in knives with longer, fuller handles for guys who just aren't happy with what is out there.... I'm similar, I have apparently wide palms. Most commercial knives are too short for me.
That's the reason I started making knives.
I work with a variety of steels, depending on what people need.

You will get Lots of good recommendations here.
Good Luck, Have Fun!!!

I have larger hands than you and I've been happy with fixed blades from Horsewright and David Mary . Both are great to work with!

I need something like the Bat-Signal, but with the falling man from my avatar instead of the Batman logo. That way, I'll always know when I'm needed on Blade Forums!
