The handle is very close to the same in profile, but wider in width, however the developed circumference (the size that you feel in your hand) is about the same as the original. This is because the shape is less planer and more rounded. I did this so the knife could be turned in the hand to offer more grip options for field craft work where the original kind of locked in at one angle. I've also tweaked the ass end of it to better accommodate a three finger grip. That plus the relatively long handle gives you some length for a little bit of light chopping (for such a small knife). My goal here is a versatile hand tool. This is why I wanted the prototypes to go to end users with experience with the original. The whole crew here has given it their .02 but I want some user feedback before we go into production.
