Unfortunately I recall the misono parer as having a fairly slim handle (I let it go because I was getting annoying spot oxidation from the humid/salt air near the coast), slimmer than the mac pro. If you're looking for a chonkier handle, you might wanna go with the z-Kramer euro 52100?

e.g. https://cutleryandmore.com/products/kramer-carbon-steel-paring-knife-39751

edit: maybe i need one of those myself lol. that cut away at the heel looks like a great feature so you don't get bit, and the handle has a nice swell to it for sure. Made in Seki so they are Japanese!

I can't recall if it was a Misono parer or petty that @Benuser recommends because it has a bigger handle.

There's always reaching out to Harner - I've heard his are very good.

I don't know about the Misono parer, but for sure mentioned the problem of too small a handle with Japanese parers and pettys. A reason to prefer a Misono 440 series 180mm 'slicer' with its larger handle. As for shorter knives, I prefer a Nogent Sab, blocky but strangely comfortable. Or this Robert Herder, 130mm. https://amzn.eu/d/dC4F3PR

Well, I guess I can't trust my memory....
 
A 'paring knife with a proper large handle for manly hands' is honestly just a giant opportunity in the market. Virtually every producer, whether eastern or western, scales down the handle to be proportional to the blade. As if my hands somehow shrink down when I'm holding a smaller knife... 🤷‍♂️

I have a 95mm ajikiri with a full size deba handle and it's really funny to look at haha. Comfortable to use though, just looks kind of goofy
