Crooked Creek’s “Hybrid Grip” supports the full palm and promotes a more natural hand and wrist motion. The large 1.25″ anodized aluminum tubing creates a strong backbone while the thick rubber sleeve creates an ideal 1.42″ handle diameter for comfortable touring. The tube is pressed 13″ into the high-impact ABS polymer blade. Blade dimensions are 7.5″ wide by 18″ long.
