This first iteration explores overall form and hand feel through sculpted clay. Early finger indentations and curvature were tested to evaluate comfort, grip, and natural hand positioning.
From left to right: initial clay model, refined foam prototype, and final sealed form. The design evolved through hands-on iteration, transitioning from sculpting to precise carving and refinement.
Final Model: Fiberglass and Resin
The final handle was sculpted from foam, sealed with fiberglass resin, and carefully sanded to achieve a smooth, refined surface before being spray-painted for a cohesive finish. The resulting geometry improves grip security while maintaining a comfortable, natural feel in hand. The design is shaped to accommodate both left and right handed use, supporting an ambidextrous grip while maintaining ergonomic comfort across different users.
