Handles Weber or Ikon?

[Triad]

Hello Guys

Looking for advice on these two handles. I know the ikon is more expensive but they seem to be the same lenght/weight is the ikon worth the extra $$$

Thanks

I cant comment on the Weber - sorry. But I love my Ikon handles. Bulldog and Bamboo.

I have both, they are both great handles.

The Weber seems to have more aggressive knurling giving a "sharper" feel in the hand, the Ikon's knurling is slightly better finished and while also very firm it feels slightly smoother in the hand. I can't really say that I prefer one over the other.

Here are some handle weights:
- Ikon Bulldog 68.1g
- Weber Bulldog 69.3g
- Ikon OSS 73.2g
- FaTip Grande 35.5g

+1 on this. I just switched from my Weber ARC bulldog to my iKon bulldog deluxe and the knurling is less "sharp" with the iKon and a little better polished. Otherwise, they seem just about the same, and they're both great!
