I've got one with a long handle like that. Remember the longer the lever
arm, the easier it is to grind. Just make sure whatever you anchor it to
is hefty enough that it won't lift up if you hit a tough spot in the
meat. Been there, done that when the kitchen table started to tilt the
wrong way. I now use the kitchen counter top to anchor to.
