I just test ran my prototype glaive. My new glaive design has one 7.5" handle just above the pommel, one 6" handle another 6"" above the first one, and a large 11.5" handle just beneath the striking surface.
The total handle length is 24.5". The total weapon length is 75", so this glaive should be a legal red.
I came up with the design by finding my most comfortable hand positions on the weapons and leaving those areas unpadded.
This gives 4 different hand positions: First and second positions, first and third positions, second and third positions, and both hands gripped on third position.
If you guys have any concerns or questions please say something in the thread.
At the current moment it is just pool noodle on PVC but I'm going to do a legal build as soon as I get some bandshoppe. Then I'll give you guys a picture.
Until then, here's an illustration.
