Pic request ASH1 vs. BATAC LE

[calder100]

Can anyone who has an ASH1 and a BATAC LE please post comparison pics? I'm trying to decide if i should get MAGS or regular handles on my ASH1. A spine shot comparing the handles of an ash1(mags or regs, but both if you got em) with the BATAC LE would be wonderful. I love the handles on the BATAC LE, but my hands aren't the largest and I'm worried the Mags on the ASH1 will be too big, they look way cool though... Thanks guys

The thickness of the CG ASH1 handles between the tube fasteners is the same regardless of whether you choose Standard or Magnum handles. The Magnum handles effectively give you a nice palm swell, located at the middle tube fastener. I have both, like both, but prefer Magnum. Given the blade thickness, if you are satisfied with the feel of the BATACLE in terms of handle thickness and contour, the Standard handles on the CG ASH1 will be closest.

When in doubt, get one of each.

No pics to show comparison.

The advantage of Mag's as I understand it, especially as a user, is that you can always sand it down to fit, but you can't make a standard larger without some type of wrap.

Excellent point. Didn't think of that. I may have to re-inspect some of mine and see what benefit could be achieved. Thanks!
