I Forge Iron

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.

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.

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.
