With this key I wanted to experiment with a  low slung lightweight handle, it is quite difficult to find a  low  handle on a good key these days this one is very low yet also lightweight to preserve the balance, the bearings are nice quality sealed types that are gently held in adjustable holders, it has a nice firm feel to the action with finger tip control, I must admit I do have a tendency to lean towards this sort of design, a very nice key.
