I'm torn between the A1 and A2, but I've got no idea what the handles feel like. Are they different?

If someone could post some pics that would show the width/length of the handles that would be most appreciated.

Sorry, no pictures.

The grip is the same on both knifes. No differences. The grip has a standard size, and offers plenty of space for larger hands too.
I remember chosing mine. Back then, I picked the A1 because it balances better than the A2.

I used my A1 once, for a six month tour to the Amazone (Puccalpa, Peru). It's in a darwer since then. It's an excellent blade, and offers plenty of draw, but it's a bad dangler and heavy if you want to carry it on a belt. After this experiece I replaced it with a shorter, lighter, more compact 4" blade knife. But anyhow, the grip of the A1 and the A2 is the same.

This isn't directly related to your handle question, but I thought you might like to see this link.

You may have already seen it, but just in case:

Cliff Stamp's work is quite reliable.

Hope it helps.

I have an A-1, the Cold Steel SRK and the Benchmade CSK II.
Going into the woods, where my like is at stake, I take the heavier/thicker/tougher A-1 everytime.

Around town in my briefcase, the lighter but sharper BM CSK II comes along.

The grip on all 3 is a soft "rubbery" substance that feels good in cold/wet conditions.
