Item c, the Marsh Paddle has an interested grip that I've never seen before, like a grip on a shovel. As ergonomic as it seems for clearing snow, I'm not sure if it'll be that comfortable while paddling. Either way, its unique explaining the higher list price.
Is the handle of the marsh paddle carved in one piece?
ReplyDeleteCan't make it out too well in their pic, but it is certainly possible to carve out and shape. There's a photo in Graham Warren's Paddle Making book of a decorated paddle grip with a heart shape cutout and a roundish grip carved as a one piece, kind of an aesthetic version of this one.
