The standard handle is 5 1/2" long. The tear drop handle is 41/2" long. The tear drop handle was designed for those of you who like a shorter handle. You may also enjoy the tear drop style if you primarily push your knife through the wood. The standard handle is still the favorite among most carvers and is used unless otherwise specified.

Most common sizes are 1" to 1 1/2". If size is not specified, we will send along the most common size for the style. We will be happy to work with you for the most appropriate size and style for you. All styles can be made from 1" - 13/4". Longer blades are available ask for prices
