The handle looks very thin in comparison to the rest of the piece; are they really comfortable to hold? How about bigger hands? Nuances on that?

I'm six feet tall and have very long fingers; the handles are quite comfortable and have a nice weight to them.

I don't find the handle thin, but they are different in that they are rounded rather than flat handles like most cutlery. Bigger hands! Hmm I can't answer that! I'm happy I bought them. They are unusual and I'm drawn to things that are different.

I love them, after you use once or twice, they are comfortable but seem a little bigger than my other silverware, the spoons are a little big, a least for my grandkids we use the salad or smaller forks, but they don't make any smaller spoons is the only issue I have. Iam sure they are returnable if yoy are really unhappy, but I love mine.

They are thicker then they look....Very sturdy!!! Yes the handles are smooth comfortable to hold.....we had a neighbor with big hands use them and he had no complaints that I'm aware of.....

Actually, these utensils have excellent weight to them. They have good balance and the handle is actually quite thick. Great for bigger hands. These utensils are a great set for dinner parties - a conversation piece!

If you sit with the handle facing you, it is easy enough [though not very ladylike, ha!]. I also feel more secure and can lean on the handle while sitting.

Plastic (soft in a way) find them comfortable. I really do like the knives but the big one is not quite right.

Yes, the handles are on pretty strong and are comfortable. As long as you dont plan on swinging it around with full force, you should be good.

I find that the knurling on the handles is actually very good. It's much rougher than the knurling on my barbell, which surprised me. A couple of reviewers actually said it was too rough. Overall, feeling like my grip was slipping has never been an issue.

I just took a chance. I think I'd have been happy with a slightly smaller version - I'm a male with normal sized hands. I think the smaller version is probably a good way to go.

Yea the finger grooves are on both the left and right side of the handle. I never thought about the way they feel against the palm so I would have to say they feel fine. The knife is comfortable to use. I have taken it camping/hiking and everyday use. The only thing about the knife is its pretty big. The construction is solid though.

I find them kind of hard to hold on to. I like them, but I think I'd prefer a stem to grip. The are very wide at the bottom and bottom heavy. I hope this helps.

I suppose the could be. I have small hands but felt they were too small for throwing. They didn't feel comfortable. Now, I gave them to my son--who has bigger hands--and he loves them and says that he is getting good at it. I gave him a book on how to throw also. I would say they are good for beginners based on my son's experience.

The grip is on the thick side but it isn't hard to hold at all. We use ours ALL the time and love it.

the handle is perfect, it is configured to fit your hand and very comfortable. My favorite cane by far and I get a lot of compliments on it. (slightly curved to answer your question)

It is very comfortable to hold and smooth to the touch. Because the blade is so thick and long, and I also don't believe this knife is full tang, the handle is very lightweight in comparison to the rest of the knife. I was not disappointed with the quality of the handle. Remember this knife is usually under $10, so its a great deal I would pay more for it, but it is still a $10 knife. More for show than anything else.

The way it is constructed, it is difficult to realize if it is full tang. However, I read reviews that say it is full tang. I would suggest you to go over those reviews if you have doubt. Again, I used a magnet (not very powerful for testing) to feel the tang on the handle and it felt like it is full tang. You could do the same with a powerful magnet.Good Luck.

You might find the length of the bar ends to be a little bit on the short side. Personally I have medium hands and have the small grip. The bar ends seemed small at first, but now I love them as they are just big enough for my needs. These are the most comfortable grips that I have ever used.

I love mine but if you have difficulty holding things or if you have the shakes then they may be too heavy for you. They are not sharp they have a good finish to them.

It's not a deal breaker for me. I ordered a Kuhn Rikon Cool Gripper from Amazon for $12 [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003B671DY/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i02?ie=UTF8&ps;c=1] and use that more often than the handle it came with. Have had this set for almost a year now and am still using it and still love it.

The one I got is smooth. The handle is also shorter than I thought it would be
