i like the pattern welded blade.
Concerning hand sizes there is much missunderstanding. Hand size depends a lot of the work the person has. I have been working with bolivian and amerindians in general which are quite short but if they work with their hands those are big. May be not long, but wide and strong. The average pre industrial person surely had big and wide hands. Look at the hands of a mechanic, a mason, a woodworker. My grandfather was 1,57 cm tall and have hands so wide that no watch could fit in his wrist. I am 1,84 cm tall and I have much much slimmer hands. But he was a farmer working in the fields since childhood and then a stonecutter.
It is the general consensus that all these grips are just long enough to have the hand firmly pressed against upper and lower guard.
