But in the interest of bouncing ideas around, were it my project I would have done some different things in the grip area. First, I would have put more curve in the upward surface of the grip. Second, the bottom surface of the grip could be a more continuous curve from the rear screw to the grip cap. To my eye, this one has a "kink"--a sharply radiused part and then it gets straighter close to the end of the grip. And I would make the "bridge" between the flutes the nose of the comb thinner. But, again, I offer these comments out of respect for Jim and readily acknowledge that most anything I can do, he can do better.

The straight wrist looks slightly European and the curved continuous radius grip more American to me. JOC described it that everything should be either a straight line or a curve ( but not both). I think this has had a lasting influence. "When you disarm the people, you commence to offend them and show that you distrust them either through cowardice or lack of confidence, and both of these opinions generate hatred." Niccolo Machiavelli
