Knew Concepts - Should we become a dealer?

[rljatl]

I have the 8" aluminum fret saw and I've considered getting an Elkhead handle.  I'm curious which size (medium or large) handle you have and why you favored one size over the other.

Thanks

I am interested in opinions on this too.  Anyone?

Theres a great clip on Youtube with adam from Mythbusters going over these coping saws with the designer. I was ready to buy after watching. Its not often we get to geek out with the designers of tools and getting a glimpse into their thought process is what online marketing should be about.

I have two; an 5" titanium birdcage with a large Elkhead handle and a 3" aluminum with the standard handle.  Both have the lever tensioning and swivel blade clamps.  I bought the titanium one at WIA in 2012 and the Elkhead handle at the same time.  I bought the aluminum one at WIA last year, but Elkhead was not there or it would have the better handle also.

The Elkhead handles are of greater diameter which helps control the saw better.  They are also beautiful in cocobolo.

I just got the coping and 8inch fret saw and i got the last of the cocobolo made handles, lucky me....

Large scale handle makes all the difference. Unless you are a child the large size handle is a must in my humble opinion....

Also for those of us who hate to destroy stuff there is a minimal invasive way of replacing the handle. Just drill a hole opposite the pin that secures the handle to the saw frame and punch the pin out. That way the handle can be reused....
