Good morning Jens, 
........or Good evening from your perspective! 
 
I measured the grip length on four tulwars, (all I have!) and found them to be almost exactly as you say, very close to 8 cm   Then I measured an old saif, and thought Now! this is Much larger!  What do you know? exactly 8 cm! The saif grip of course has no pommel wheel to restrict the hand on the top-side, but has the L shape hilt. 
 
Could you show us the flower of this very nice tulwar? 
 
R.
