Question for anyone who has ordered a AD "regular" handle. Are the choices offered for design applied to the whole handle or only the centimeter or so in the middle?View attachment 1978843
If you look at all 15 pictures he has of that specific handle, they all have horizontal circular lines in the two "small centimeters"
sections. So those two small sections by default most likely already come with those lines.
So the design choice(s) that you make are most likely for the two "large" sections of the handles.
When I ordered my Vestige, I didn't like the Vestige handle so he made me a custom fit "regular" handle.
The pattern I chose for the top & bottom was the Cross pattern and I did it all through the normal order form that
your looking at. He knew through our email that I wanted the custom fit handle but the actual order & pattern selection
was still done through the website order form (where I selected Cross for the low pattern & high pattern).
But if you still have doubts though, I'd email him!
And this is what I received:

Beautiful.
Thank you. That's really helpful.
I'm eyeing that big gap No.7.

@LRod I like the handle, good choice, goes well with the vestige head
 
That's pretty cool. What are the differences between the original Vestige handle and changes you had made?
The change was that the original handle (from the Le Maurice) wasn't designed to fit on the slim Vestige head (the top of the handle is thicker and would have stuck out of the side of the head). So he had to modify it to make it work. I didn't like the way the Vestiges handle looked and that's why I opted for the Le Maurice handle.
This is the Vestige handle:

I'd be interested in hearing more from people who regularly use the big 1.5 gap AD DE.
It depends what do you want to know?

This my handle Le Maurice
You can choose an upper and a lower pattern style

 
Well it appears the 6-9 lead time is very accurate... just picked up my Black Friday order today. Machining is flawless on my machined bronze Vestige (and everything else). Absolutely worth the wait and faster than Wolfman if you want to compare the two. It's going to hard not to order La Faulx in a machined bronze finish now. Mine is satin.

6-9, Wow!
His website says 3-6. I guess it's gonna be a longer wait than what I expected!
