The Piccolo handle feels very similar to the Gillette Tech ball end handle, which I find very slippery and the Piccolo even more so when water gets in the vertical piped lines. I prefer the better controlled feeling I get with the Grande handle. The Piccolo is solid while the lighter Grande is hollowed out. Handles aside, I enjoy both my Fatip's which have perfect blade alignment and a certain Italian charm in its imperfect and shiny plated brass finishes.Is there a difference in the Piccolo and the Grande...other than the handle size?
