New Windrose handles

[Darkbulb]

Spotted some, I think, new Windrose handle designs.
I rather like my Z1P and am thinking about getting a second one by him.

Striped brass

Titanium

The W4

Anyone own any of these designs yet?

I think most are available from his Etsy or eBay store

I just got Windrose P3 handle, 87 grams. It seems good quality piece. I am going to marry it with my Muhle R89 head. It seems pretty heavy now with the new handle..totally different feeling in hand than the original Muhle handle.. I believe R89 head is 30 grams so those together make total 117 grams..Let's see how it shaves...

I've got the Ti one. Have an Ikon X3 head on it at the moment.

Any one else seen the Blue Damascus Welded Steel handle on the bay? It certainly stands out.

I just ordered one of the plain Damascus ones.

I had the titanium handle you are picturing however, the grip was not that secure. As you can see the knurling is rather shallow.

This one?

Yes that's the one DB

Gah, all the Damascus ones are 100mm which means from experience that I won't use them. And the Wolfman-looking one is still out of stock.

I ordered the R1 and R2 but really like the R5 as well. I can't buy them all boys...

How much!!! My dad used to sell similar handles, hand made, I think the most expensive he sold was £35... CNC shouldn't cost this much.
As nice as they are, I'm out.

They have certainly increased in price since I bought one, I won't be buy one from this batch though.
Seems to be a recurring theme now, produce a decent product at a realistic price see a bit of success price yourself out of the market.

I'm still kicking myself for not buying one of your dad's @Rowlers. I like the new Windrose ones but the price has shot up, I'm out too.

I've yet again hinted that he MUST buy a lathe... finger crossed....
I remember the "baseball bat" that he made, a stunning handle that I wish I had kept, but it was sold ages ago...I wonder who has it now!?
