I favor a longer handle.   :tu:

Still working, I'm pretty much making it by carving with a puukko. Shape getting there but too thick. Nice bit of extra length for my hand.
This is looking good!  If I have to choose either too short or too long, I too would favor the longer handle too.

Lots of progress. It's a tad longer than the Mora Robust handle (which I like overall but dislike the guards), pretty much same as the Companion in length. Needs some sanding and a touch of oil and it's done.

Last year i put together a Brusletto, i'm still taking the sander to it every now and again, little bit off here little bit there, one day i will call it done, good work there  :tu:

Agree with others, this is looking great!

I like this progressive approach as well.  Sometimes we mod or make a knife out of haste, but may not be happy with the decision in a long run.  This surely will evolve to something you could use and be happy with for a long time.

Ok then, I'll try to make it work  :P
I still need a fixie... unfortunately I saw a very nice one in the 30 blades challenge I couldn't get out of my head yet (Buck 102).
They're a bit too pricey over here though.
Anyways, it's not September yet  :salute:
