    That's a beautiful handle. Too bad that it's a copy of a Wolfman.

    Closest i could see on the wolfman site was the WRH1which whilst similar is not identical.
    Sorry was looking at the second handle posted the WRH7 looks similar to the original pic.Name:  HaiHpcr_large.png

    I think the stork handles look a bit nicer to be honest.

    I will guess they knurled over the Wolfman WRH7 handle and did some light machining. Either way very nice job!

    Cheers,

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Hi James, yes, there are some similarities, no doubts, however there are some significant differences. So it can't be considered as a 100% copy also because what they did is more difficult. Would you agree?

    They said to me that when they seen your handle, it looks a little too empty (that's a direct translation) to them. So they desided to make another version of James handle. So here it is.

    This honestly does not look like a new handle. It appears to be a Wolfman that has been put into a lathe and modified, and given a new name. I would be interested in process photos if this was made from scratch.

    Creating an original design is the difficult task. Reverse engineering isn't quite the same thing, even if adding a new feature.

    The WRH7 is my personal favourite and so I don't share the opinion that this is an improvement. Although it is always interesting to see another perspective.

    Please encourage this person to create something new and original.
