I forgot to measure the length and width of the handles on my Culti before I left the house today, I want to pick up some new handle material on the way home, so can someone measure theirs and let me know? I want to use Stag for the new handles, so I can't just pickup an oversized sheet and be good. Its not the width I'm worried about so much as the length, I have to make sure the pieces are long enough. Please measure the length of the micarta handle from the ricasso (front) to the end of the knife (not to the end of the micarta, but to the end of the butt just incase I want to cover that too). Also the maximum width, which might be in the middle, not sure.

Thanks much! :D

randucci -- it's exactly 4 1/2" from the front of the micarta to the end of the knife. The width is 5/8" at the center. This is for the standard tiger hide Cultellus.

Adding: the height at the belly is 13/16" and each individual slab is ~1/4" thick

(you can tell below who is using a ruler and who's got the calipers :D)
 
OK...

on my hard working hog cultie....

4.509" in length from the front of the front talon hole to the very rear of the knife

.67 is the maximum width accross the middle of the grips from the top of the knife.

.849 is the widest part which forms the 'belly' of the grip if the knife is on its side

.897 is the distance from the top of the grip to the bottom of the front 'talon' hole

hope this helps... need any more help let me know...
 
The OAL of each slab is 4 3/8"
The max height of each is right at 7/8"

and each slab is 1/4".

There is no excess in the numbers... so, add some for sanding down to size.

Hope this helps.

On mine, 4.5 inches will just cover the end of the knife, and the handle is perhaps 11/16" at the widest point.
 
since yall are kinda on the subject (sorry to hijack your junks) whats the o/a length of the knife?
 
Cool, thanks for the information guys. I hope to find some amber Stag that will work. I will post some pictures if/when it happens.

If you could find something that looks like this, I would swoon:
