Commercially made tool handle

[Sam Fleisher]

I really like Thompson handles mainly because they don't roll when I set them down.

That being said I just placed my last order for some to fill out my needs. Last because I'm tired of not being able to contact Doug by either email or phone with questions. Not even room for voicemail. And I don't feel like chasing him around the country to symposiums.

In the past I've seen a triangular shaped handle but I can't remember the name and it might not even be in production anymore. Is there any being made (not round) out there I haven't found yet?

Yes I know I could make my own but I don't want to. I'd like to just make something without having to make something first if that makes any sense.

I’m curious what you need to contact him for, as every order I’ve made from him has been fulfilled smoothly - although it’s been 3-4 years so maybe something’s changed. I was going to order some things from him soon so just wondered if there are issues.

I had a question about a handle. And grinding of a scraper which he had done in the past on a previous purchase .

They are designed to work with any tool. You have to install a bolster and insert on the tool, then it will spin on or off the handles.
