| Description of the product
To make a matel swept handle, normally they make the shape by bending a piece of board material, which they call "press working".
That means they choose hard material which can bear to be bent or pressed.
For Avail Swept Handle, "extra super duralumin" is adopted as the material, which is very difficult to press to shape.
So they use a piece of brock material and make it into the shape by cutting with machines as pictured above.
To make a handle by pressing into the shape, a board 3mm thick is enough. To make it by cutting, we need much more materials and also it takes time longer.
For the knob shafts, titanium alloy (Ti64) is adopted, which is lighter than stainless steel and tougher than duralumin.
Have a look at this part. The side of the handle is round shape surrounding the shaft edge.
It has a little different taste from other ordinary swept handles.
The round shape makes a beautiful line from the center of the handle to the both side.
Because the design is simple and not too obtrusive, the original image of the reel remains unspoiled.
The provided screws for fixing the retainer are also made of titanium alloy (Ti64).
