The silhouette is certainly close to this AC bhojpure (16.75" 1lb 6oz 3/8" width @ ricasso to shoulder). Even more than the AC lango pata these models just "feel" more like fighters in my opinion.
Yvsa said:Fox, what does the original khuk you used for the model weigh? The FF is still my favorite heavy khuk and is the reason I have commited my Super Salyan and GRS to another Cantinanista.
I no longer have any use for them.
And I'm praying these come out right. With the requirements we've set forth hopefully things will be done right!!!!
Samoand I really have no idea. But I am reasonably sure the handles will be smaller than what's found on the average HI khuk. The first FFs have a handle that's about 4-1/2" and it fits me just fine. IIRC Nasty was alright with it as well and his hand is quite a bit larger than mine.samoand said:Yvsa, will they be "all size fits all"? Respecting other people demands, small handles feel awkward to me...
Nasty said:Handles are an interesting issue...for me, *choppers* need to have beefier slabs to both prevent calluses (I'm a tender sort of guy) and deliver power but *fighters* work better with the old size/style grips. The ones Yvsa is talking about are the minimum size in this respect. You may find the same thing if you go through the ones you have and are satisfied with. I think it has something to do with delivering power vs control.
Perhaps our certified expert Danny could weigh in and give thoughts on that?

munk said:You realize someone has to say this? I disagree.
I've tried making hard and fast rules about pistol and khuk grips and I've come up short. Too many times an individual rendition makes it's own rules.

Dan, don't have a clue. I'm going to specify a 17" oal with a 4-1/2 handle with a weight from 24 to 28 ounces along with the rest of our requirements.Drdan said:Yvsa... What thickness do you reckon the spine will need to be to meet the targeted weight? Looking at the geometry, I bet it'll be nice and lively in the hand, but able to do some nice chopping too.
