I like the way it sticks out more aggressively.

And the angle.

I'd give them a try. I find a tree gaff wrenches my hips out painfully, pole gaffs too short.

I climbed on both...the Euro style gaffed out about 500% more often than the more traditional American style, on my western US conifers and hardwoods.

I could not get on with the Euro gaffs as, like Burnham I constantly gaffed out. I bought some longs in the traditional style & have been very happy with them.

I've climbed on both.
Never noticed any difference.
So, either I'm stupid or I know how to sharpen gaffs.
