Hey all,
Just got done designing a big beastly blade. But still in the WIP process, it's gonna be a hefty 16 in. - 17 in. OAL, and around a 10 1/2 in. - 11 in. long and a 3 in. wide blade with a 6 in. handle more than likely. But I can't exactly figure out what kind of handle shape to put on this bad boy?? It's definitely gonna be a chopper, sort of like a short Machete/BIG Bowie and it's not gonna be no less than a 1/4 in. thick chunk of steel
But I was hoping maybe someone here could help me find or help me come up with a handle design?? Or maybe point me in the right direction?? I was hoping to come up with a curved down handle (since it's gonna be a chopping blade I don't really want a straight handle so it don't slip out of the hand as easy) but I'm open to any suggestions. I've been coming up with alot of different designs for this, but I still have'nt come across any one's that I like. So I hope someone here can help me with this.?!!
Thanks....

OH WOW!!!! No I've never seen that, that thing looks awesome!!!! VERY NICE!!!! I really like how it came out. And I really really like the first handle idea he had on it at first. I was trying to go in that direction for the handle design on mine. Thanks for the help though, I think I'm really heading in the right direction for this blade now.
