Could someone please tell me how long the handle is? I need to figure out if I could use both hands to rock the knife. Thanks.

No. Unless you have very small hands, the handle fits one hand, which is all you need anyways. One hand rock back and forth and you have the best chopper on the market. I dont think you need two hands at all.

I didn't measure it exact but the handle is about 5 inches. It works best with just one hand in my opinion. Hope that helps.

The handle is about 4 3/4inches long. I can get my hands on the handle without my pinkie finger. I have average hands. Hope that helps.

The handle is 5" long. I can use both hands on the handle. Note - I don't always need to rock this knife for it to work - it can also achieve the same results with an up and down chopping motion. I can hold with all fingers on both hands, including thumbs. This tool is fantastic.

The handle is 5-6" long. We don't find a need to use both hands. The curved knife comes Very sharp and I occasionally touch up the edge with a sharpener. We eat more salad because od the effectiveness of this knife.

Handle is five inches. I have used it with just one hand to chop salads in stainless steel bowl and it's AMAZING. I be been recommending it to everyone I know

About 5 inches. You would need really small hands to get 2 hands on the handle in my opinion.

The blade is 22" long and it has a o/a length of 31.5 ". The handle is long enough for two hands.

The blade is ~5.5" long. I will admit that as a lefty it is difficult to use even though it is a double edge blade....but it does cut well!

Hello friend, that is actually a good question about the Alpha Hunter. The issue is not actually that it is too long, it is honestly that this knife is so sturdy and heavy that its girth is the issue. I have a case for mine and carry it on my belt. This all being said, of all the knives I own, this is the best by far and you should own it anyway

I believe the ad is incorrect. The knife I have has a 4" handle, with the guard and pommel it measures 5" overall, It has a 7" blade and end to end it measures 12".

I watched my buddy sharpen a fillet knike with it using sweeping angles and it worked fine. This when processing my deer so we had to sharpen it "tons" of time. I believe the knife was a 7" blade.

Hi...the blade is 3 1/2 inches long. I had to buy our 3 children each one of these knives after they used mine. We all love it!

The blade is 14" long and the handle is 5.5 inches in length. While we are on the blade it is sharp as heck. You can cut our self badly if not careful. It comes in a plastic sleeve which my wife through away for some reason. I suggest keeping it in the sleeve.

It's a bit on the large side for people with small hands. I'm 6'3" and it fits my hand nicely with room to spare. My friend has monster hands and it fits them just fine. For EDC it is a larger knife and is sometimes considered EDC+ because of it's size. It's bigger than you would expect but, still very light. Hope this helped.

The bald length is closer to 2.75" but it is measured from the tip back to the very end, just about where the hinge is. Opened, the knife is 6" long. Closed it's a shade shorter than 3.5". The handle is wood over metal and so far I haven't had any issues with the wood. This is more on the style of a true "pocket knife." I don't know how it would hold up cutting wire but as a pocket knife I am very pleased. I normally carry a Buck Alpha with a 4" blade. It too is a good knife but if you are dressed up and feel like you're missing something when you haven't pocketed your knife then this is the knife for you. I might also mention that it holds an edge well. The bald length is closer to 2.75" but it is measured from the tip back to the very end, just about where the hinge is. Opened, the knife is 6" long.

The knife is 9 inches long. The actual blade is 4 inches and the handle is 5 inches.

I just measured it with a metal tape measure and it is *exactly* 3 inches from the handle to the very point of the blade tip. I think that is what they were trying to communicate....the end of the handle is not where the blade is attached....but the handle is the point of the knife where the blade is attached. They could have worded this more clearly.

Hi C. Jones. The blade length is closer to 2.75" actually, and the handle has held up really well. I keep it in my back pocket, sit on it, toss it around, and it's holding up nicely. The wood feels nice too. Hope that helps.

I do not have the knife because I gave it as a gift after I received it from Amazon. However, as I remember it, because the hole in the body of the blade under the handle is made for the width of your finger as you hold the Ulu, I would say the blade has to be about 6-8" following along the length of the curved blade surface. The Ulu would be about 4-5" high. It is well made , and my son loves it. Hope this answers your question.

If the holes line up it should work but I am sure you'll need to make some modifications on the configuration of the handle. Assuming the Black Jack holes are aligned what is the dimension between them. Also, if the knife you have is an original I'd consider leaving it alone.

Actually shortening the handle would probably be a good idea, mine came fairly long and would throw better if it was shortened, not to mention be more manageable with shorter length. And using a different wood shouldn't cause a problem either; with heavy use you'll eventually have to get a new handle anyways and its a 'primitive' tool/weapon, so whatever you do it'll likely work out.

It should work fine for you as the blade is wide I even tried holding the knife as you describe and it seemed fine on my hand and finger.
