KG, I like the newer version a little better as well. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I would love to handle and compare one of the Koster handles with one of the Scrap Yards, particularly the standard (non-mudder) Res-C shape and/or the Chopweiler handle.

Hmmmm, pitdog, don't you have a sample of each? Can you explain the different feel for me?

I see one of those Koster's in my future . . .
