Even though my wife (and a few others) hates this shape; it's something to think about. It fits nice in my hand.

Just made one for a friend that went through some hand issues..the best way to explain what I did was I left a triangle at the bottom by the nib that was 3/4 inch on each side and rounded off the edges. It ended up approximately 1 1/2" high to give him room to grip. Took some extra hand sanding and ended up dip finishing in poly instead of trying to ca. He seems very happy with it and his therapist was thinking of ordering some for his customers...any q's just ask..
