| This handle is based on the actual handles that Sergei Golubitsky has used for the past 10 years; using them he has won an amazing 3 World Championships.
The design is smaller than most and Sergei feels that the compact shape gives him greater control. His original handles were adapted Belgian handles and we have faithfully copied his design. On the lower protrusion he had built up the handle extensively with tape and this helped to grip the little and ring fingers tight into the handle against the protrusion that sits between the ring finger and middle finger.
Leon Paul replaced the tape with two pieces of asymetric rubber tube (one thick and one thin) these have a slightly triangular cross section that means the wall thickness of the tube varies. This tube can be rotated as necessary to create a shape comfortable for the individual and the two pieces can be used either together or seperately.
The part of the handle that buts up against the guard is ground to butt perfectly up against the guard when the blade is given a normal set (cant). |
You'll love it... or throw it away...
