Meet our newest addition to our popular Heritage Line of handles - The 28LUM (28" LUMBERMAN'S)

Do you have a Maine Wedge that has been begging for an authentic handle? 

Good ol' New England has been the heart of the lumberman industry and their handles have always had an iconic shape and feel.   

We sourced a NOS Tatem brand handle and replicated it to be able to offer a remanufactured version of this recognizable New England shape.

There is something so awesome about getting a forgotten piece of history back into working hands. This pattern was made when people depended on their tools for survival so when it came to designing them they were not kidding around.

The reverse neck, straight swell, and thin overall feel make this handle very comfortable while swinging. 

 

Dimensions:

The handle, as it comes, measures 28", and the palm swell is finished.

 Top of the Eye (eye is tapered): 2 1/2" X 13/16"

Shoulder:  2 7/8" X 13/16"

 

What is the difference between Grade A handles and Grade B handles?

New wood for my “trail” axe

After setting a couple of axes on the Heritage axe handles, I was anxious to try this 28” LUM handle on a couple of trail axes I’ve had on overly stout OEM handles. Sweet mama, these handles are just the ticket! Thin where you want it with a fawn’s foot swell that really works to keep your hand in place when you really get to swinging. I like the extra 4” vs the stock handle that came on my forest axe. Thank you Brandon for keeping the heritage handles alive.
Sincerely,
Peter Bovey

Best feeling handle period

Although I haven’t put a head on this handle it feels so good, it reminds me of the handles of yesteryear.

Whiskey River Premium Heritage 28LUM - 28" Handle

This is what an axe handle is supposed to look like!
Haven't found the right head for it yet, but leaning towards a 3 lbs. Jersey.

I haven’t hung one yet but these handles are simply the best feeling ever. Whippy thin. I grab em daily and just admire until I pick the right head to hang. Gonna get more for sure
