How about "Commando-shaped" handles? Anyone like 'em? I do...and just not on "combat" knives either.
Best, Capt. Chris

This is an original "Griffin" handle from around 1980. Dave Griffin designed and shaped what would become the single finger grip shape. The contours on this are very sexy, I wish it was available today!

Agreed Rick. It was even "sexier" on the Griffin DP hunter! Dave was a great craftsman and good friend. I miss him. Thanks for reminding me of all of this again.
Best, Capt. Chris

I am a fan of the "Griffin" handle also. Here is one in Pink Ivory on a RBS.

Yep! The Single Finger Grip is another real comfortable "hold."
When you look at it from the top, I like how it widens out from the hilt, right
around to where your index and middle finger fall, narrows down again, then
flares out to the end. I should say, more than the "look" of this ... it makes it
feel great in the hand!
