John B Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 To quote you, " These cube twists make lovely handles " IMHO should be decorative handles, As a working handle they are not at all comfortable, impressive, yes, comfortable, no. Much better used as a feature, the pineapple twist is better as a handle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yves Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) John B, Thanks for the comment. I must admit you are right. But, not being overwhelmed with work, I accepted to forge 2 for a client. I think it is a case where (1) the clients would rather be impressed and impress others than be confortable... and (2) my being comfortable with the money... In fact, you are so right that I will forge pokers with pineapple twist and put them on the blog and explain the difference between the two twists.

MOblacksmith0530 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I have to agree I think they are nice to look at but not hold. I am fond of a basket twist handle on pokers, it is big enough to hold comfortably, but it light and does not add a lot of weight. Having said all that the customer is right if his wallet is deep enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
