This handle is both comfortable and stylish, it was forged welded from of 3 pieces that were braided out of 3/8" round bar. I have always been enamored by the smooth transitions that can only be done with forge welding. Forge welding allows the braided material to seamlessly emergre from the tapered ends in away that feels so natural its like it was grown that way.
