pic request: Mag VS. Standard handle scales

[verpus77]

I'm wondering if anyone has any good pics of Mag vs. Standard scales on a Fusion Steel Heart. The reason I ask is to help decide on the FBM handle scales. Also if you own both types of scales, what are your impressions regarding each during HEAVY chopping. By HEAVY I mean cutting enough fire wood to live off of every day for a week kind of HEAVY. Thanks.

heres two heavy hearts, the pics were intended to show the spines but you can still see the slabs. as for chopping the mags were awesome, better than my standards. the mags just fit real nicely into the meat of my palm

check this link for some chopping pics.

What size glove do you usually wear?

gloves do make a big diff, if i were doing a lot of chopping with gloves i would choose standard scales, my hands get less tired as i have a better grip. mags are great with bare hands. imho

Thanks for the info. I also wear a medium. But I ordered the standard thinking the magnums were for people with hands on the larger side .

medium.......

Man, that looks like a huge difference between mags and standard. I didn't know it was that much.

Imagine the extra thick FBMLE with the mags.

Wow!!!
