The blank was right at 4".Nice scoop Bobby. The instructions call for a handle length of 3.5-4". These look longer or is it just my eyes. Either way, nice scoop.
My wife likes using a scoop. I like using a thick spoon. LolNice thing about that kit is you can make the handle as long as you want. A funny thing I finally figured out about ice cream scoops vs paddles. Households with only adults, usually want the paddles, but households with kids want the scoops that can make round balls to fit in an ice cream cone.
