Looking for folding or nesting crank handle for casement window

Hello, my house was built in 2010 with several casement windows. The handles say Weather Shield, but windows have no markings.

I want to replace handles with nesting or maybe folding to allow blinds to fully go down to sill.

Can you suggest a replacement?
Thanks

Hello, thank you for posting,

To further review, are you able to show us the window open where we can see a bird's eye view of the operator arm attachment(s). Once we know which style of operator you have, we can give a clearer idea of the best folding option available.

Please note that our folding handles will not provide full clearance for blinds.

Thank you for your help.
Attached are additional photos of the window and hardware.
I noticed "Truth" engraved in one of the pieces. The other piece also has an engraving which looks like "6D 710." There may be a digit scratched off before the 6.

Is there a different kind of handle you would recommend to provide clearance for blinds? I have seen some that nest and others that are very short, like a crank you would imagine for a toy.

Thanks for the help.

Thanks for getting back to me. Our 39-220B resembles what you show here. Your spline is likely 11/32" so the 39-102 and 39-205 would be our best options. However, I can't promise either will give you the clearance that you need. Most window manufacturers don't consider blinds when they design their hardware, unfortunately.
