I know exactly what you mean, that was the only thing that tempted me about the Campanion, was the handle.

You might want to take a look at the Ontario TAK (now available in D2). Fit and finish is a little crude (not sloppy, just very "utilitarian"), but it's a very solid knife, and the handle is a great shape, very comfortable and long enough to put real force on the blade all the way out to the point. Overall, what with the full, untapered tang, it's a little heavy, but it's lighter than the Campanion, and it rides very flat for a knife it's size. I'm not crazy about the sheath, but I like the knife's feel a lot more than most.

Plus, it's pretty much a bargain, even in the more expensive D2.
