Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
That handle looks very squared, rough and unforgiving. Be interested to see how your hands were after two or three days heavy chopping/clearing etc.
i expect to get shouted down for this but it looks like a beautiful draw queen.....and there's nothing wrong with that if that's your thing but on a purely personal level, while I can appreciate beauty and form, I've always prefered users to lookers
It appears from the photos that the handle has no real shape to it. No wedging effect from front to rear & no 'pommel' or 'birds beak' to prevent it from flying out of your hand at the first attempt at a powerful stroke. Could just be a trick of the camera angles though.
