Whats your favorite belt axe/ hatchet handle shape?

[Kentucky]

Im just curious, whats your folks favorite handle shape for a belt axe? Straight with a swelled knurl on the end?, straight and swelled on the grip? etc...Thanks

The GB SFA curved handle fits my hand nicely.

i tend to lean towards straight.

I prefer a slightly curved handle like the Wetterlings. The Estwing, for an example, has too much curve for me.

Straight for me.

if it is a smaller hatchet, then boy scout style. If it is a larger head hatchet, then straight.

Straight, with a nice palm swell that gives a better grip than just your average "cow foot", a la Lee Reeves.

I keep catching the fingers on my offhand with a curved handle.

Thanks for the imput guys..Its appreciated..
Ive always been partial to a straight handle with a swell or a swelled knob on the end..Kinda like the traditional colonial handled belt axes and hatchets..
