What is the difference between Grade A handles and Grade B handles?
A classic working man's double bit handle. This thing is timeless and no-nonsense. It's 28 inches of air dried American Hickory. It's straight and slim and very comfortable in hand. It's been thinned to lessen the fatigue one might experience while swinging a heavier double bit. Each handle is hand picked by our axe swinging team to ensure its quality!
The dimension of the eye is: 3" x 3/4"
If you really want to add some character to your new hang pick up a walnut wedge!
You can also grab an extra poplar wedge if you want too!
***Each handle comes with a proper wedge!
Customer Reviews
When I was hanging this axe I noticed the handle was bowed slightly. I didn't notice the bow initially, it may have been, but I didn't notice. I did go ahead and hung the axe with this handle. The other handles that I have ordered from you have been flawless.
Really appreciate the handles Brandon is selling on his web site, ok so ya you can’t just go to the hardware store or your local box store and buy a grade A hickory axe handle that looks like my grandfathers old axe handle, but you can at whiskey river, and I like to think I’m supporting a local business cause I’m here in wisconsin also der hey ya
Took a little time reshaping for vintage eyes. Handles are of the highest quality I have seen, grain runs vertical with the bits perfectly. Much prefer raw wood than a crappy production finish.
Double Bit Axe Handle - 28" - Whiskey River Premium Select
The handle was great. I got a good fit on it. The grain orientation was awesome very minimal run out. The only reason I’m not giving a five star review is the shoulder grinds were almost a whole inch uneven. I managed to even them out and got a good hang on the handle. More attention to detail. But still an awesome product and a great company. Still a very satisfied customer.
