I usually buy the ones with the blue rubber grip, but I've always thought this handle looked great. It's somewhat nostalgic, and very comfortable once you use it for a while.. I like everything about this hammer, and like I said. This was a replacement for one I left on a job. It feels like a familiar, old friend. In my 30 years of custom carpentry I use a variety of hammers, and have 3 sizes / weights of this one. Personally I wouldn't want to use another brand, but hey, that's my take. Hope you find this helpful!
