The comfy handle list

DSSF handle was amazing, I wish I still had one. That TAC handles are nice but some are too thin. The ASH 1, liberty heart style handles are so secure and user friendly. Mudder handles are my favorite for multiple hand positions. I don't like the War dog style handles, my first was the basic 4 and couldn't get used to it so off it went.


I forgot to mention the Sarge 7 handle is very comfortable, but I think I will add a liner to give it more girth and see if it gets better!

That wardog handle is the only Busse/kin Iā€™ve ever held and thought ā€œwhat the hell were they thinking with this one?ā€ What an unergonomic turd of a handle.

I really dig the handle on my BGASH, but it has magnum scales with liners so itā€™s a tooch thick for my hand. Itā€™s plenty comfortable, but feels kind of like a shovel handle or something with how big and round it is. Iā€™ve thought about sanding it down for years, but then it wouldnā€™t fit in the nice BB mutant kydex.šŸ˜©
 
Carried an M6 earlier today for some light bushwhackinā€™. This oneā€™s where itā€™s at for me. One of a select few that feels like it was made for my exact hand.



Feels great in reverse too.



Works great choked up, and the choil makes sense on a knife this size.

I feel like those were intended more for stabbing tasks by someone wearing gloves. Not so much ergonomically comfortable, but maybe more practical tactical? If's been a while since I handled mine, but seem to recall that I prefer it in reverse grip. šŸ¤”

Give that wardog a current grip and see what you think. They feel ass to me in any grip except hammer with the handle upside down.šŸ¤£

BG HR for me. Iā€™ve applied a hand-sanded finish to many micarta scaled blades with excellent results, but this one was absolutely perfect from the factory.

My son has a BGHR and I agree 100%. Itā€™s one of the most comfortable handles Iā€™ve ever felt on any knife.

First time I picked it up I said out loud ā€œdamn! Thatā€™s one hell of a nice handleā€.

You did a great job on the etch and strip.šŸ‘

Jerry really needs to bring back the standard thickness scale option. I love the fusion Battle Saw but the handle just isnā€™t very comfortable with how much is removed from the handle.

Did someone say Res-C? šŸ˜‰ Those WD5 squarish cross section handles with their generously radiused corners fit my small'ish mitts really well! The Mudder handles slightly less so, though I do like their rippled texture's grippiness and the way their bulbous shape fills the palm pocket of the hand. And the INFIdu micarta is IMHO no slouch in the comfort department either.View attachment 2958561

Yes sir, another vote for the War Dog 5 handles
