In a Quillion Dagger handle, what do you consider to the the ideal twist rate and type?
I did read the recent posts on how to do this, but didn't find this well addressed.
4 flutes is standard? vs 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ???
If I assume that the handle is 4.5 inches long between guard and pommel...
What is the optimum, or recommended twist rate?
1 turn in 4.5 inches?
1 turn in 6 inches?
1/2 a turn in 4.5 inches ?
is there a range?
what determines that range?
is it a variant of blade length... the longer the blade the looser the twist?
anything?
