Is the handle perfectly round? If I were to buy dowel to replace it, would it stay together well?

It isn't round, 1 3/8" x 1 1/4" approximately.The dowel rod would be nowhere near strong enough. I've read that they offer replacement handles.

No, it is not. Like other hawks, the handle is oval shaped. You might be able to shape the end with a sander, but I think it would take a lot of work. Much easier to buy a couple extra handles from Cold Steel.

No the handle is more oval shaped and dowels would break. Replacement handles are cheap for CS Hawks and available here on Amazon.

No. The handle is oval in shape. A Dowel may work if it was tight, but it would not fit perfectly. I don't believe replacement handles are that expensive though. $12.50 on amazon currently.

no it has an egg-ish shape to it but a 2 inch dowel can be carved into a new handel

The handle rotates up and down and pulls out about an inch and a half. If you can mount the baseplate you shouldn't have an issue.

The handle moves from side to side but it is very sturdy and stable when you are using it. No problems with it!

No, My handle does not jiggle. I haven't actually used it yet; its for my travel trailer, but I did go pick it up and it seems very sturdy...;-)

no, have seen to many with handles that quit working after a couple of months. Have used this for about 6 months and am still pleased with it

Handle should turn easy. Mine did from the beginning. Something could be wrong.

I have an older house and the handles kept coming off. When I got these I just twisted the glass handle on the shank put it through the existing hole and then twisted the other handle on and it worked just great. No need to replace any of the other hardware. If the old one comes off easily then the new one should work just fine.

Yes it is very sturdy. I have never had it tip or wobble. The handle works great for reaching and keeping balanced. Enjoy

The handle is nice and long. I've never been bumped by it (I'm 5'6). As my review stated, the handle broke after a few months, but the company has since replaced it free of charge. The new one works great so far.

detach the handle and tighten the screw underneath, that might eliminate some wobble

I haven't had a problem with the handles. The divides on top fit really well. However, the dividers don't fit snug in the other draws.. This product is great I love it. Its pretty and the acrylic is thick, heavy and clean looking. I say buy it. The person you give this to will love it.

It is round but slightly oversize. I cut mine with a pair of common scissors with no trouble.

If it has a round handle or a "flattened side" on the handle this should work.

Yes, they are the round dowel type and the fabric is very durable and strong. No regrets at all.

The handle is not perfectly round. It is grooved for your fingers. The base is 1.5 inches from front to back and 1 and 3 16ths from side to side.
