Built this big bruiser for myself 
14 3/8 inches of brute force! I’m especially happy with the way the handle contours came out. I had it roughed it when I decided to remove just a bit more material from the scales. I used the 8 inch wheel to add two hollows to the sides of the scales. It thinned the scales like I wanted and as a side affect also gives a sweet spot to land my two fingertips in 
It really feels great when using a pinch grip. The extra curves create more surface area to engage with the hand.
