It sure is nice to see a different design other than handled and deer foot types. Very creative of you Christophe.

I ended up making this one:

except for that one (if I were to hold it from the very top), the hand position for the rest all seem to run pretty close to the blade (well I'm ignoring the obvious sole stick).

Commercial push blocks can be both complex and expensive. This one...

costs $100, way too much for the average home shop. Nevertheless, it provides some interesting design ideas for someone who wants to build his own.
