What's new

Ordered a new handle for my Muhle R41 Grande

Well...I really like the R41, I just don't care much for the lightweight, slippery handle. The bulldogs by Ikon and Weber are simply too short for my liking; I already have a Tradere and a Weber Classic - so I opted for something even yet more expensive that I hope will work out okay.

The UFO Stainless Kaiser is both longer and heavier than anything from Tradere, Ikon or Weber - I will post some pictures and a review once I get it here in the states in the next 2 or 3 weeks. I managed to snag the last one he had in stock - so let's hope for the best. Cost me 60 euros which comes out to be $75.76 for a handle - a crazy price I know. If it works out - it will be a great lifetime investment. If it totally sucks - look for it on B/S/T. :)
 
I didn't know he even sold a Goliath - although I see he has a Godzilla in the works. In any event, the 100mm handle on the Kaiser is a deal maker for me. I just don't like the 3" stufff - simply too small for my hands.
 
The contact for the UFO handles is a gentleman named Juan. He can answer any questions regarding pricing, models available and in the works, and all shipping questions. Here is his email: [email protected]

I think Rafael's handles are worth every cent.
 
Attractive handle. I'll be curious to know how secure the knurling feels compared to the Weber Classic, my gold standard.
 
God knows I have enough handles. And my tradere handle is lying unused. Yet when I see these gorgeous handles, my trigger happy hand starts to itch!
 
Yes he'll get back to you with options of what handles are available and the shipping costs. Just waiting on mine arriving, hope it's not too long.
 
Juan is prompt and great to deal with. Currently trying to work out a deal with he and Raphael , who seem like fantastic guys.

+1. Juan/Rafael seem to have a genuine passion for sharing these pieces of working art with all. I just placed an order, and the timely responsiveness of the UFO team is welcoming. Now the waiting game begins...:drool:
