Prototype handle shape
I finally made it back to handle work. I managed to parallel a little R&D while knocking out two custom handles (not shown) this type of handle was requested as part of a project I was not equipped to handle. Either way, I wanted to provide another option for anyone interested in my handles.
Please feel free to add and constructive criticism.
Thanks,
Ben

Re: Prototype handle shape
How about a shot from either end to see the exact shape.
If God wanted me to be a vegetarian he wouldn't have made animals taste so good.

Re: Prototype handle shape
Did you click on the image to go to Instagram and swipe through the photos? If I understand your question, it should be there.

Re: Prototype handle shape
I think I like it a lot Ben. I've always had a thing for rounded edges.
Maybe a shot next to something familiar like a dollar bill for a sense of proportions?

Re: Prototype handle shape
That’s a great idea, I think the proportions are going to be some trial and error. When I think about holding the circumstance at about 3 inches or 76 mm at the ferrule, this shape will require some trial and error to get that and the proportions I like.Robstreperous wrote: ↑Fri Apr 13, 2018 6:18 am I think I like it a lot Ben.

I suspect these are fairly comfortable.

Yes. It was requested by someone who sent me a photo of a handle from Brian.

Re: Prototype handle shape
Great. Sounds like their is universal appeal. I am going to install two of these on personal knives. One might go out to a “beta tester”.

Re: Prototype handle shape

Prototype handle shape
How does Box 3 handle shape?
for instance dealing with shape instances, spheres, cubes ect
can I construct a shape from size volume and surface area?
