Such artistry in materials! I think I like the solids with a little trim rather than the laminates.
But those are surely conversation-starters!
What's the grey one with the pig-tail in the LH column? Stone, maybe? Looks really Paleo.
I use the Kestrel Constant for knife handle size. This is a concept coming out of Pacific Northwest First Nations style carving tools.
Palm up, fist grip. The tips of my second and third fingers just touch the fat ball part of my thumb.
I have long fingers. My comfortable hand-span is 9.5"
Handle size for me finishes at 7/8" diameter. 3/4" is almost too small and 1 1/8" feels fat.
