Now I don’t want to get it dirty. Wax the axe , oil the handle. Repeat

Nice leather

I got both versions of the colabs, they are little works of art and I'm very happy to have them. I will caution the average axe user however, if you don't know how to properly use an axe you will break the handles. These are SUPURBLY slimmed and thinned. I've never had handles this elegant. Elegance and ease of use come with the trade off of being for a more experienced user. Beat on your restored axes, use these professionally. Thanks Brandon!

Very true and straight. Very easy to haft. Will definitely be buying more from whiskey river.

As always Whiskey River provided a superior product. Grain is perfect, fit the 2.5 lb Plumb cruiser head perfectly.

I have always liked metal barrel wedges, but these are really awesome. I have seen these in old handles but I haven't seen anyone making them these days. Brandon and his team have hit one out of the park again with bringing back a part of axe and tool history. These work great and look just as cool if not cooler than a barrel wedge.

Splits like a dream comfortable handle propper grain orientation great price for a great tool

Balanced, hard hitting great design

Once again... Excellent quality and craftsmanship..
..their products are top tier

Functional and good looking axe handle

Beautiful wood grain overall just high quality.

Bought this to replace the handle in a WATL Lieutenant when I finish duels at axe throwing league (Battle Axes DFW) it’s beautiful and expect it to elevate me to greatness

I'm still giving them 5 stars. I've had only a few needs of customer service but when needed they always exceed my expectations. Brandon is doing an excellent job running this company while being busy on other projects. I've ordered two handles in the last month one I waited to pull out was a little warped. Unfortunately it was last my return date. Brandon still sent another out. The density of these handles is much better than many others options out there. Thanks everyone at WRT.

This handle is just about the most perfect thing I have ever ordered. All I had to do was fit the axe head. That’s it! No sanding varnish off, no trimming the ends, nothing. Just got the head, set the wedge, and trim off the excess.

The grain is always solid and if you have skills you can make a few handles out of these. They are fantastic
