Edger Help

[rickeyfro]

I need some help from you guys, Ive got a #3 & #4 Barry king common edger, Id like to complete the set of this style edger but after getting a few of Jeremiah Watts tools (not edgers) I really prefer his handles because I have pretty large hands, What Im trying to find out is size comparisons, it seems no two makers use a standard sizing method when it comes to edgers, so anyone who has edgers from each of these guys could you let me know which of Jeremiahs is closest to Barry's 3 & 4 so I dont end up with multiples of the same sizes while trying to get a set together. Thanks Rick

I can't give you the information on sizing. However, if you like your Barry King edgers, why don't you just call up Barry King and ask if he is able to do this. I know that I have had them custom make me thinner swivel knife blades and they didn't cost anymore. I cannot speak for him on the handles, but with talking to Barry periodically and Brad who is his main shop hand, they are more than happy to help out all of their customers if possible. Both Barry and Brad are really nice guys and willing to take the time to help all. I would maybe try this, but this is just a thought.
