What's the difference between this and the aluminum handle version?

Neither of the 2 I've owned has had an aluminum handle, but I would imagine that it being a one handed operable knife that having a little extra weight would be to it's advantage.

I bought two handles because the replacements are different to the originals, hope that's helpful

The cover is steel as opposed to TWS aluminum cover so its much more durable. I own both and both hold zero the same as far as I can tell. Fitting was simple.

Your link is bad or incomplete but I looked up the Aluminum unit going by the name. I can't say from personal experience but going by photos they look very similar, some differences in the configuration of the clamp head area. Seat of the pants I'm wondering about the strength of the locking via the pins on the aluminum vs the ridges on the Bikehand.

Yes, just make sure you inspect upon arrival to make sure. The distributor that shipped this to me originally sent me the -4 version (chrome handles) vs. -4P (chrome with porcelain handles)

I don't know why that picture shows a handle- the one I purchased was the two-button model. I believe that is what you'll get.

I believe the handle on the 8893/8805 model pivots which makes using the handle extension easier. I love the 8893 !!

The handle is wood, press fit into the aluminum base. the aluminum is dimpled into the wood. It would be possible to loosen and remove the wood handle and install a longer wood handle or even find some aluminum tubing that fit snuggly over the wood and extend it that way. It might be easier to find a tool with a longer handle but if you can't it would be possible to modify this one.

I don't know the difference but I love the one pictured. It's my new all around camping knife. Very solidly built and worth the price. I'd even pay an extra $4 for it.

Yes, the only difference between the two models is the look of the handle and the yellow color on the controls including the lid lock. I verified this with the www.fagoramerica.com site. The representatives were very helpful - returned my call promptly - and followed up with an e-mail response.

Ohh yeah. This is WAY better than the plastic handle version. It's big and sturdy, just the way I like it. Also, that's what she said.

I bought the aluminum one and my friend bought the stainless-steel one. There is no functional difference. However, after a period of using, the stainless-steel is still shining just like new, but the aluminum surface has already become dull.

TJH, I do not know the difference between the two, but I do love what I purchased. It works well, is reliable and tough. One of the best tools I have purchased. Dave

They make both versions...mine is aluminum. Great steady tripod but a little heavy for hiking trips.

Don't know - use on old Atra handle only. Sorry, maybe someone else can assist.

The 861 is the improved model. 3 main differences:1. Flat blade screws for depth guide have been replaced with hex head screws. 2. The clamping wing screws have been joined with a bar...to provide more secure clamping of the workpiece.3. A round knob handle has been added to each end...to improve functionality when using with a router table.Other than above, they're functionally identical.
