How "comfortable" were the genuine kora hilts? It seems to me that the bottom disk would dig into the wrist no?

They can be comfortable to use. The bottom disk will rest up against the base of the hand, to help keep the grip from sliding around. But, the ones I have seen have been a bit small for me. This one looks like it was made for larger hands.
