KnifeGuy, your large hands have me wondering if that is a smaller handle than usual.



????? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> - I don't know. This is the only one I have (unfortunately! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> )


But, I really doubt it. I would think it is reasonable to assume that the Vex handles are all pretty much the same in length. Busse is obviously pretty automated.

Busse scales tend to be CNC cut as well. But, I have seen some thicker or thinner in the past. Maybe their CNC cutter had been set at different heights or they had different thickness in scales blanks or something. Also, something like these Vex scales might have some hand sanding/finishing (?????) Hard to know. Jerry never says. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

The RMD micarta vs. G10 were significantly different. I doubt the Vex scales had that much variance though (????).

I do have large hands. But, the VEX "Does" fit and feel great in my hands. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

See the pics above and notice the Vex actually has a bit more handle "Grip area" length than the mudders. But, both work fine for me... err normally.

All of my other mudders feel fine. But, I have ground the forward nub of Res-C bump at the guard to flow into the metal part of the guard. Effectively transitioning two bump/guards into one. Which also increased my grip area on one of my S5 (not shown yet <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />) by about 1/4" more grip area. The modification also rounded that Res-C bump that was annoying me on the S5 - never bothered me on other Mudder handles. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

My modified S5 is more roomy and significantly more comfortable. And it also balances better IMO. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I will show it when mods are more complete. I just haven't been able to do much with it lately.
