I did an Ikea kitchen awhile back with something similar... I just googled up the handles and they're the Lansa style. They're not arched, but available up to 17 1/2".

On a different thread I posted links to some lovely Sugatsune (notice this is the correct spelling) hardware and also to Atlas Hardware. I think you might have terrific luck with Atlas.

Good luck!

Thanks rmkitchen! I was going from memory on the spelling of those handles.

The only reason the name is easy for me to remember is because it's Japanese and is only four Japanese letters: su - ga - tsu - ne. In English that "tsu" is hard -- it's the first three (Roman) letters of my husband's name. But I'm glad, boysrus2, that you and I are on the same page for helou!

There's a dealer on ebay that also sells handles like the ikea lansa style in many different lengths. The prices were very reasonable.

Try the pulls from Mockett.

Mine are Danish made.

They're an amazing company. I had gotten about 5 different samples and their quality is amazing.

www.mockett.com. Somehow it won't let me add the link, and I keep getting a rejected message!

We went with Sugatsune stainless steel pulls, too, in 8 different lengths for our kitchen. They are essentially round rods that extend beyond the posts. We used mitered edge ones (no protrusion) everywhere else in our home because they mirror our door handles, but unfortunately they didn't come long enough to use in our kitchen. Getting custom lengths would have tripled the already breathtaking cost.

Thank you everyone for so many good suggestions. I've spent hours already following up & I've got a few good possibilities.

Now I have to decide if I go with straight or bar pulls, should I get the "Professional" handles (straight) on my oven instead of the "Designer" ones which also have some roundness? My other appliances are Kitchenaid, which are quite rounded. Suggestions?

I too have slab drawers (on all my base cabinets) and I got these pulls. The satin nickel finish is very good quality, but the main reason I got these pulls was their projection (or clearance) from the drawer. So many pulls have a very narrow space to put your fingers in, and these had a wider or deeper space from the drawer front. They are beautiful on my maple cabinets. I got the knobs on that website too for the doors on my wall cabinets. Good luck!

You might also check out Top Knobs "Nouveau" collection. The bar pulls are available in 11 different lengths, up to 40" long.

We used the S-shaped pulls from the Nouveau II collection throughout our house. (Page 39 in the link below.) Mostly in black, but also in chrome in a few places. They are only $3 or $4 each, and quality seems decent.

I've seen pulls just like the Ikea Lansa ones at both Lowe's and Home Depot.

I like the Top Knobs Pennington for something very similar but slightly different. And don't forget to check out Haefele.

I thought that I would want different length pulls but finally came to use one length (and now think that it was the right decision). Perhaps it's because it is a small kitchen. I (read "my KD") went with a Richlieu model almost identical with the Sugatsune above. It does come in several lengths.

100% agree with mountainbasketmaker - I don't want to scrape my knuckles on narrow clearance pulls. The other aspect that I was dead set on was to not have the handles extend out so that it can snag on my clothes. The linked catalog for download is pretty large: 30 pages in 8 MB.

helou--how funny! I haven't been on the forum much lately (trying to wean myself down!) but I popped in real quick, opened your thread, and found myself (or rather, my kitchen!) mentioned! Hmmmm, if you have my window, I'll expect you over once in awhile to clean mine, ok? LOL!

We used the largest V&V handle on our over-the-fridge cab (lift-up door; ~42" wide) as well as on the DW and trash cab. It's plenty wide for those, if that helps.

wws944, how do you like the s pulls you have? I really want these pulls, but have cabinets that go to the ceiling and everyone keeps saying I need a larger pull for them. Have you seen them in an 8 inch size?

I have the Sugatsune 70 series in 2 different sizes. Bought them in France at www.laquincaillerie.com

haven't seen them here in the US - leave it to a GWer to suss them out!

We have two sizes in our house. They measure 4 1/4" and 5 3/4" long. I think they look really neat - especially the black ones (against birdseye maple cabinets). I do not know if you can get them as long as 8".

One thing I do wish is that they stood another 1/4" or so away from the door. I can only get the first half of my fingers under them. Someone really fat fingered might have even more problems. Try before you buy.

Helou, I had the exact same problem. I ordered at least 10 sample pulls from various companies, and the ones that I love are the ones from coolknobsand pulls.com (#10000). The quality is very good, and it's not the typical T Bar handle that you see in many kitchens these days. It matches all of my stainless appliances, and I'm happy with the purchase. The cool knobs and pulls staff were great! I even had to return an entire set of knobs, with no problem. I originally ordered the #5000 series, but they were too shiny.

You've all been so great. I'm keeping a file of all these sites, even the ones who don't have what I need, in case I need them down the road when my DD and DS redo their kitchens. I never could have found all these myself, even with my legendary googling abilities.

Sugatsune has a couple of lovely possibilities, and I found bow pulls (the front runner) in many sizes - up to 22 1/2 inches - on kitchencabinethardware.com. They've got loads of great stuff, including the Sugatsune. Only problem with the site is you have to look very thoroughly to find what you want. For instance the FK Pitched adjustable handle seems to come in only 2 sizes, but if you do a search you're directed to a page with many more sizes. I don't know how to get to it directly without the search.

Finally, to return the favor to anyone else who may be looking, here's a site my KD told me about. It has links to a number of excellent manufacturers. Once you're in the site, you have to click on the name of each company to see their collection.
