DHS Long V blade

SFF_lib · Apr 26, 2019

I recently switched to a SH DHS Long V. I got it cheap for only $150 NZD. It is the older version with a large head size.

I had played with a Stiga Hans Asler OC for a while. It makes me feel Long V is so head heavy and uncomfortable to use. The handle is too slim to hold as well.

My question is, is there any way to increase the weight of the handle and make it bigger? Ideally I want to keep the design of the handle as I really like it.

Use multiple layers of griptape on the handle. Should work pretty good!

Do a beast mode mod on the handle and add grip tape. Der_echt has a thread where he customized a Yihne 896 blade with bullets and stuff.

If you can live with it, make the head smaller.
The weight ratio will shift more to the handle.

How can you make the head smaller nicely?

A couple years ago I did this with my old blade with rough grain sand paper. But you have to be careful, you might end up with a too small head. Try to reduce with little steps.

My blade was a non-composite blade so it was relatively easy to use sand paper. I don't know about composite layers though.

Thanks for the tips. I will look into it.

80 grit sandpaper on a drywall plate works wonders. Mark the size with a used rubber of another blade, 20 minutes should do it. Not hard at all.
