    Yeah, OK, poorly worded question. I just wanted to know how common the grip I use was GENERALLY :-)
    I do like Firefighter2's comments about reasoning. It would appear that maybe it's more common to use >2 fingers on the tang on the RH side of the scales I get that there are a lot of variations, and I do use two hands; the grip is essentially reversed. Of course i use a different grip for ATG, but some for WTG and XTG, as I just scythe on the area (lower cheek/jaw line) using the same grip as for WTG. I think it's interesting to see if one's grip, technique, etc is 'unique'; I do like to be 'unique', but I think maybe people have noticed that tendency...

    I think the number of fingers on the inside of the shank is a very personal matter. I suspect, one, two, and maybe even three are all pretty common.
