I have the urge to try it out on one of my helmets :whistle:
How long should the handle be.
My guess would be a handle length of about 2 feet, somewhere from 20 to 24 inches... and I think 20 inches might be a little short. A sagaris wasn't a heavy weapon, not like medeival axes, and it probably required a long handle for leverage. The Greeks show it in the hands of Amazons, and the handles are long. :unsure:
