I've been using mine for a couple of years now and love it. I've not found it hard on the hand at all. Michael, I enjoyed your beautifully illustrated article! I have seen a Falk carbon fiber lever 'in the flesh' but not tried it out. I don't think it's as goodlooking as the Fujan, but I'm sure it works well. Best, David. >I 'm not happy with the fact that you are gripping cold, hard steel rather >than a softer wood, fiberglass or rubberized handle.

Have others found this to be a problem? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
